Overview

This collection of short stories and essays is an exploration of whimsy and wisdom that take the reader from the basement of a young girl learning about the Holocaust via a repairman, to a literal and psychological deep dive in the Caribbean, to the humble truths of a dung beetle in Africa, and all points in between. The author's keen perception and compassion light the way, and she mixes truth with imagination to paint a larger view on life. The essays and stories are arranged thematically by life stages: seeker, childhood moments, maturing, a-musings, and travels.

Reviews

"Rolnick offers many observational gems to enjoy. Resonant reflections from a skilled literary artist."  —Kirkus Reviews

"In Tattle Tales, Abbe Rolnick's joie de vivre is evident. These stories and essays take you to an inner realm where Abbe, the observer, contemplates an ever-changing landscape called life. Her enthusiasm and passion thread through each thoughtful piece."  —Mary Elizabeth Gillilan, Editor, Clover : A Literary Rag

Author Biography

Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo-complex, and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to the Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. She lives in Sedro Woolley, Washington.
