This well written collection of short stories and poems runs the gamut of emotions from humour, to horror. Elizabeth Rowan Keith writes with intelligence and empathy, whether speaking of the final parting of a lover, a life lesson learned, or simply a good yarn. This collection will make you smile, make you think, and maybe even shed a tear.—Barnaby Wilde, author of The Women Furies
This collection of short stories and poems demonstrates Keith’s breadth as a writer and her ability to capture the unfolding events of daily life as portrayed in the actions of the best and worst of humanity in times of grief, in times of triumph, and in times of failure. –Joyce E. Williams, author of Lest We Forget, Settlement Sociology in the Progressive Years, and more.
In these stories, there are a variety of themes, from a farm wife’s reaction to an unjust divorce, to a poetic sanitation worker, to a redneck’s awakening, to a thoroughy disturbing pumpkin patch. Throughout, the author displays deep psychological insight and humanity, expressed in eloquent language. Each story and poem is a small gem. –P.C. Hodgell, author of God Stalk
This delightful collection of short stories will provide enjoyable reading from start to finish. Some stories will surprise you with the twist at the end, while others will leave you reflecting on the accuracy of the sentiments expressed. It would be a shame to by-pass this uniquely entertaining anthology! —Suzy Stewart Dubot—award-winning author of Quartet

Minutes is a book of short stories,each taking just a few minutes to read. I didn't pick and choose. I just read one after the other. Each story unfolds like a dream. The characters emerge with vivid descriptions. The scene plays like a movie. The author's style makes you read faster and faster to see what unfolds...the,the ending. It hits like a ton of bricks. It might be sage wisdom, a smile, a smirk, shock, or deep sadness. The author writes from a life of experience. It is like I woke from a profound dream, pondering the meaning.
