This book contains three heartwarming tales that reveal the power of memory.

.

In At the Still Point, two former college sweethearts meet again at night in a nearly deserted train station. In Kingdom by the Sea, an aging antique dealer is asked to come to the aid of his deceased friend. In The Smiles of Cheshire, Mass, a young doctor is summoned home for Christmas to deal with his irascible grandfather, who may be hallucinating.

In each of these stories, memory is a force that connects the past, informs the present, and shapes the future.
