In A Gallery of Tales, Tofer Wade offers seven stories that span generations and geography-each a portrait of the soul caught in the moments fate arrives, whether as a whisper or a shout.

From Eden to Renaissance Italy, from race riots in early 20th-century America to the scorched battlefields of World War II, and into the quiet dramas of modern life--these journeys traverse history and universal ache.

Leaping through time and place, they trace the emotional landscape of what it means to be mortal.
