Deep Autumn by Michael-Patrick Harrington Late at night, when sleep is evasive, and the sins of the past flicker like the leaves falling from the trees, it is the season of Deep Autumn: fifteen stories to crunch underfoot like so many lies and regrets. This is the Time of the Dares. This is the smell of the Burning of the Leaves. *** "It's not a book I would have read for pleasure." Beth Meier, copyeditor, Deep Autumn "Am I going to like it?" Kathleen Harrington, the author's mom "I'm afraid if I read it, you'll be gone...you'll die." Cathie Gore, the author's soul mate
