The ten stories in this collection introduce us to men and women whose lives have reached turning points they can't ignore. Among them, meet Elita, a woman on the rebound from a breakup who takes a chance with a blind photographer and finds herself finally facing truths she's been hiding from. Meet Tommy Lee, a song writer turned grief counselor, shattered by the death of his brother. Then there's William, a shy savant who wields the I-Ching to avoid a broken heart, and Cindy, a young woman who declares her love for an ungrateful boyfriend with a daring tattoo. In Tahiti, discover a professor testing his rejected doctoral thesis through an encounter of the flesh; in LA, watch a veteran trainer as he struggles to save a proud but declining boxer. In Antioxidants and Other Stories, Bennett displays an exceptional eye and voice for the very human foibles in all of us.
