This book is cohesive collection of little stories looking at big questions. The stories value in quality. I found "The Boy Who Called God 'She'", "Chatterbox", and "Going through the Motions" to be my favorites due to their surprising twists and turns. More than anything, I think the book achieves being an excellent character study as the reader jumps from an energetic Presbyterian to an introverted Budhist to a high school jock and bully's brain it is fascinating to see the different writing styles, belief systems, and personalities of the author shine through. This can partially be attributed to Ms.Singer's purposefully seeking out of authors from a wide variety of literary and life backgrounds and beliefs as can be seen in the helpful provided authors' notes in the back. Well done. ( )
