Great Writers Great Stories: Writers from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Great writing, great story-telling is alive and well in the mid-Atlantic. Twenty-seven great writers from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. share their lives, their experiences and their imaginations. Common themes abound - relationships between mothers and daughters, men and women, and the pain of adolescence - but writing styles and subject matter are as diverse as the population and geography of these mid-Atlantic states. Of interest, three stories share a common, albeit somewhat exotic setting: the contemporary high school.
