There are no superheroes in Nick and Lorraine Were Lovers, just ordinary people caught in moments of crisis as they get on with their lives.

A middle-aged corporate lawyer confronts a painful childhood memory in the wake of the George Floyd protests. A college student is on a mission to rescue his former lover from herself. A single mother is haunted by the suicide of her daughter. In a small Midwest town in the 1950's, a boy plays "Army" with his friends and discovers the meaning of loyalty.

These are some of the characters you will meet in these stories by David C. Metz. People whose stories-funny, sad, poignant-Metz tells with compassion, humor and a clear understanding of the human condition.
