A man carries his girlfriend in the left-hand breast pocket of his
shirt. During World War II, a young soldier searches the houses and
barns of the families with whom he grew up. An astronaut wonders whether
she can adapt to life back on earth.
In her second collection of short fiction, 100neHundred, Laura Besley
explores a kaleidoscope of emotions through 100 stories of exactly 100
words.
So much of life is packed into these stories, precious moments and sad
ones, humour and grief, gorgeous nuggets of hope and stinging barbs of
hurt.

*Laura has created beautiful snapshots, each one alive with precision
and emotion. Each story excels in its originality, each one a complete
tale, each carefully crafted without a word to spare.*Bookbound
With this collection I soon lost track of how many 'wows' I was
uttering.. Morgen Bailey
