Falling Leaves: Stories of life...and endings

By Michael DiMatteo

A short story anthology, Falling Leaves attempts to look at the lives of ordinary people in a variety of circumstances as they approach life's endings, be they during the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius, reclaiming themselves after the Korean War, or even as an old woman enjoying the falling rain in East Tennessee. Falling Leaves explores not only life, but endings, and leaves the reader pondering their own endings.
