When put into difficult situations, many people surprise themselves at what they are capable of doing. Allan Gurganus examines this theme in a variety of situations in White People, a collection of 11 stories. These stories deal with war heroes who have difficulty dealing with everyday family life and senior citizens who are brave in the harshest circumstances. In perhaps the most interesting story, married men begin to realize the possibilities of leading different lives. From Gurganus, the bestselling author of Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All, comes White People. | White People by Allan Gurganus, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
