Short Stories That Rhyme

Melding storytelling and the power of poetry. Eddie Wallace walks readers through his childhood

after four years under foster care and then eight years plus, in a Children's Home - his older sister Vangie, his main support. In Short Stories that Rhyme, he delivers these intense experiences taught him: relationships are the key to happiness.

The book also travels through Eddies years in junior high and high schools - five schools, six girl friends, plus he found Nancy; his Marine Corps tour; and the quixotic turns of fate that brought him to his wife. Ranging from funny to poignant, Eddie's revelations guide the reader along a reassuring path: Valuing others over self is a surprising solution for almost any problem.
