Growing Up: Stories about Adolescence from the Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction - Paperback

Growing up can mean growing pains and the joys of new independence. With maturity comes the shift from infinite
possibilities to imminent realities. These thirteen stories describe the slow and subtle experience of growing up, allowing us to reflect upon the forces that pushed us toward adulthood and away from the familiar ground of youth that must be left behind if we are to learn how to soar on our own.
