A blurb by Stephen Page

The art of the short story is dead … except for the existence of writers like Mary Akers. Women Up On Blocks is a collection of stories about women seeking redemption from their male-dominated lives. Mary Akers is undoubtedly a mother, as writing this good, even if it is fiction, must be drawn partly from experience. Her dialogue and situations are realistic, her characters are developed well, and she knows how to start and end a story.
