Vienna, USA

Vienna is a small Midwestern town like a hundred others, but if you look closely, it has its stories. Collected here are five stories from Vienna, where ordinary people encounter the big questions of life.

In "Transitions," a young man has to decide whether he's ready to grow up. A granddaughter deals with her grandfather's ALS in "Old Man." Richard Higgins, Vienna reporter, learns something startling when "Local Man Struck By Lightning Survives." In "The Love Letter," an emotionless bachelor tries to discover what love is. And, finally, experience a story told in reverse in the character study "That Which Is Hidden."
