About this work
Description
"According to my dictionary, a parable is a short story that uses familiar events to illustrate a religious or ethical situation. Well, these pieces are based on the local history, paces, and people of Alfreton, And also of the work that is done here at the clinic. And in many ways I hope that they do illustrate a situation; not so much an ethical one, but more a sense of how the people I have spoken to view the town in which they live; and the way that they feel about their life."--Page [1].
