I'd Tear Down the Stars is a collection of short stories by the author of The Illusion of Being Here, with characters are diverse as young women, middle-aged men, and children, all seeking luck beneath the stars. Four young men go to Atlantic City to gamble and relax, but they discover that having fun doesn't happen just because you want it to in "Everyone's a Winner Here." A woman out wandering at night stops in a diner and tells a story of her mother as a little girl, lost at a frightening carnival in "A Night at the Carnival." A man travels to earth to receive a new heart and finds much more than he expected in "A New Piece for Cello." A little boy secretly tells his young sister about dragons, although his mother has told him not to scare her in "Dragon Lessons." A fireman watches a woman run safely from a burning building, then wonders what happened to her in "See the Jungle When It's Wet With Rain." In these and other stories, readers of the tales in I'd Tear Down the Stars will enter worlds where simply being human is challenge enough...but then things happen anyway. With settings in Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Mexico, the stories in this collection follow the hearts of people who are seeking their own reason for being in the world.
