In \"Berkeley House,\" a disenfranchised daughter anguished over the sale of her childhood home, discovers that it does not hold the key to her happiness, and perhaps never did. In \"Greyhound People,\" a woman repeatedly and purposely takes the wrong bus from work after meeting its warm and disarmingly candid cast of passengers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn story after story, insight joins with grace to show us the truth about the lives of people around us.
