Three tales summarized. 1. Stone Still Girls is the story of a summer camp hike to the top of a bluff to watch the sun rise over the Colorado landscape. It is memorable for beauty and for the morning's surprise encounter with wildlife. 2. Two Travelers is the story of the Fortnightly author attending the presentation of another author (but famous). The authors' surprising differences lead to surprising connections. 3. Fried Eggs is a story of family routine and stability, that one morning is interrupted, changing everything.
