Gina I love Sandra Cisneros she has some awesome collections, vignettes really, in *The House on Mango Street*, and *The Women of Hollering Creek and Other Stories* her website is great go check it out http://www.sandracisneros.com. Some are a little provocative but there are some that get to the heart of emotions *Eleven *and *Papa Who Wakes Up Tired in the Dark.* Gary Santos has a collection of stories as well Something about Summer and Baseball. I don't have that one here at home but I first learned about their work from the Lucy Calkins books and attending the Writing Workshop at Columbia. These might help. What a challenge and rewarding endeavor. Good luck. Susan On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 9:54 PM, gina nunley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
