My favorite stories in this collection were "The Christmas Dance" (which centers on two old WWII veterans) and "The Fish Man Angel" but I found something to appreciate or enjoy in all of the stories. McBride really creates vivid characters, dia ogue, and settings, and they all seem entirely authentic. I'm interested to read more of his work now.
