There are sixteen stories in this collection. With the exception of "Another Day of Infamy", all of the stories are fiction. "Infamy" is about 9-11 and the view of the New York skyline on September 12 from Paterson, New Jersey. During a very troubled time it is a quest for meaning. While a story of fiction "The War Years" does portray the adventures of two young brothers in search of the world forever changed by the global war. This was a different America and its home front reflects it . Many readers have told this writer that The "War Years" is the best short story in the collection. Down the Road contains some humor also: "The Wedding Wrought from Mishap" and "Dashiell's Magnus Opus." These are recommended for the lighter touch.
