Beautiful Illusions Geraldine Davis

Everyone can find something to read and enjoy in this collection of poems and short stories. Take a walk through time listening and observing the wonders of nature. Imagine a city covered with kudzu. Picture the small feet of raindrops dancing on barren land. Watch children's eyes widen at the words of a poem. Sense a young person's tension just before an exam at school. Feel the deep devotion that parents have for their children. Sink into harsh realities that can change peoples lives forever. In the short story, "Brian's Image of Success," Brian Wilson and Candace Freeman are co-workers and friends. Then one day Brian learns that they are pitted against one another. She is about to step ahead of him on the corporate ladder to success. The story, "Kudzu and Leprechaun's Gold," is a spin off from the poem "Kudzu and Leprechaun's Gold."
