Extended description

Two literary science fiction short stories about women making difficult life choices.

What if you could keep your children from getting any older? Would you let them age naturally, or keep them little forever? "Emily's Fifth Birthday" explores this idea.

In a world where health is for sale, what lengths will people go to buy it? How much (or how little) proof do people need that it works? "Alternative Medicine" introduces a medicine that is deadly--at least for some.
