A Few of the Girls brings together, for the first time, thirty-six of Maeve s very best stories some published in magazines, others written for friends as gifts, many for charity benefits, all of them filled with her trademark warmth, wisdom, and humor. Written over a period of decades, these stories show that while times change, people often remain the same: they fall in love, sometimes unsuitably; they experience heartbreak, compassion and redemption; they hold to hopes and dreams; and they have friendships some that fall apart, and a few special ones that endure. A foreword by her...
