Undertow: Crime Stories by New England Writers Includes my short story, "Not My Son." ISBN: 0-9700984-0-5 Published by: Level Best Books Review by Wayne Greenhaw: "One of the most electrifying is the quiet but solid grip that Ruth M. McCarty displays in "Not My Son," about two mothers in a Massachusetts town. Hearing about a shooting at their sons' school, with the recollection of Columbine ringing through the dialog and action, they go to the rescue. With a chilling objectivity, the writer carves the details into her story, like a word-sculptor chipping away the unnecessary to build a perfect piece of art. She allows the details to wind down to the final word, which resonates with the reader, who sits and reads the last line one more time." |
