A Gathering of Heartfelt Voices

Despite the "young adults" label on the book, A Gathering of Flowers is for all ages. Some of the best fiction writers working today have contributed a diverse set of short stories in all uniquely pitched, heart-felt voices without pretension and grand gestering. This collection is probably one of the best anthologies available to the young (and older) today, especially if you're looking for works by writers of various ethnicities (as perhaps the "flowers" in the title suggests: different types and colors).
