"The Girl With a Cello"
She is twenty-three, and plays a cello for pocket-change on a Washington state ferry. Eight years earlier she was a progidal cellist playing with the Zagreb Philharmonic in her native Yugoslavia. Now, after surviving the Kosovo war that split her country into Croatia, Serbia, and Montegnegro, and moving to the United States, she learns the horrors of that war may have been preferable to those of the emerald forests east of Seattle.

"The Intersection"
Standing outside the opera house in Seattle, the young boy holds an older man's hand and hums classical music to him while they read the listing of numbers performed the night before by the Seattle Philharmonic. Child Protection Service is looking for the boy; and a group of Muslim extremists is zeroing in on the man. The child, orphaned and alone, and the man, who lives in the Witness Protection Program, have found each other in the streets of Seattle where homeless people go to find food and shelter. This is a story about who the man and the boy are, how their lives come to intersect, and what happens to them as the search for each narrows.
Available in 2009.
