Abstract
dc:description.abstractTennessee Waltz is a collection of short stories, set in Memphis, Tennessee, about the lives of three characters, a mother, daughter, and grandmother. These stories raise a series of questions: What is absolute? What is right and wrong? What are God and heaven? What is beauty? What is love? Centered around the death of the grandfather, Tennessee Waltz addresses these questions and tells how these three women come to understand their mortality by learning to have faith in each other.
