Some heroes, some heroines, some others

the long version

"As this collection's title promises, these stories range from a sheriff who rids his town of a murderer his own way (after talking matters over with a mountain), to a woman who dyes her hair with a teen-style purple streak to wait on staid lawyers and judges in an up-and-coming restaurant, to a priest who - yes - slips right into the current headlines of child sexual abuse in one moment of loneliness."--BOOK JACKET.
