Synopsis
"In this time of ever-shorter news stories telling us everything that's wrong with the world, it's a nice change of pace to read about someone like Felix Addeo, who takes time out of his busy schedule to teach middle school kids what it's like to be an accountant. Or biomedical engineer Lois Ross, who twice a year leads a group of volunteers to clean up a local pond. Through richly detailed stories - a kind of writing that has all but disappeared from our local newspapers - about small-town people in extraordinary situations, Sullivan depicts the characters that enliven life in the Garden State."--BOOK JACKET.

November 24, 2002: When I wrote these pieces, I wanted readers to meet the people as I saw and heard them. They were part of my everyday work life yet also very important to me. Each of them seemed to have a secret part of themselves they were willing to share. That's what I tried to capture in these stories.
