Up on the Roof and Other Stories

"Up on the Roof and Other Stories" is a unique collection of nineteen humorous and serious short stories exploring the lives and relationships of the young and old. Author and Story teller Judy Ann Davis weaves her award-winning tales to make her readers laugh, maybe cry, but always able to relate to the unique characters and the dilemmas they encounter. A grizzled old farmer, Pop, climbs up on his farmhouse roof to meditate, check his chimney and antenna, and ends up talking to God on his phone in "Up on the Roof." In "Bald Revelations," Maureen is convinced her husband of twenty years is planning to leave her when he purchases ten new pairs of black socks and starts singing Beach Boy songs. These are clean, contemporary, eclectic stories for an audience of all ages.
