First story in the anthology is HOMESPUN
This is the story behind the story, telling how Joel and Emily Randolph met and fell in love and came up with the idea of Homespun Theater, the community theater in Tabor Heights.
Excerpt:
A
little body with an amazing mop of black curls squatted in the pool of light
from the Green Room door, playing with one of the wooden tops that Gregori
liked to carve during performances while waiting for his lighting cues. She
looked up as Joel approached and opened her mouth as if she would say
something, then shook her head. She stood up and held out her hand.
Bemused,
Joel bent over. He had learned a long time ago that no matter how small the
children, they hated when adults went down on one knee and emphasized how short
they were. He shook her hand.
"Hello.
I'm Joel. What's your name?"
"I'm
Max."
"Max?"
He grinned, sure he had heard her wrong.
"Max?
What are you doing out here?" A little woman with pure white curls and a
neon orange jogging suit paused in the doorway, leaning on her glossy black
cane. "Honey, remember what Mommy told you? Don't go running around
strange places." She took hold of Max's hand to lead her back into the
Green Room. "I'm sorry. We just got here, and she's been riding for six
hours and... well, you know children. If they can't run around once every
hour..." Her smile was full of mischief and life, and Joel found himself
grinning back at her.
"But
it's not a strange place," Max said, all seriousness. "It's a
theater. I know all about theaters."
"You do, huh?" Joel gestured for them to precede him into the Green Room. "How's that?"
