Review of 'Light can be both wave and particle' on 'Goodreads'

This book of short stories continues the adventures of Nora Jane (pregnant with twins by two different men!), Traceleen, Rhoda, and others.

My favorite lines, from the title story:

If I enter into this moment, I will be changed forever. If I refuse this moment then I will go about the world as an old man goes, with no hope, no songs to sing, no longing or desire, no miracles of sunlight. So I will allow this to happen to me. As if a man can refuse his destiny. As if the choice were mine. Let it come to me.
