Mendocino and Other Stories by Ann Packer

4.0

Mendocino (and other stories) has ten stories that take place in different cities and on different subjects but they are all connected by the theme of family. My favorite three in the set are the title story, "Babies" and "Lightning". "Mendocino" follows an ex girlfriend as she visits her boyfriend and his new girlfriend. Clearly he has met his soul mate and she must decide how best to maintain the friendship with him that she wants which means including the new girlfriend. The other two favorites deal with the ups and downs of pregnancy.
