Mary T. Wagner's Running with Stilettos essays have been described in terms ranging from barbed-wire prose to bedtime tales for grownups. An experienced journalist and prosecutor living in Wisconsin, Wagner draws on her experiences as a soccer mom, newspaper reporter, truck stop waitress, judicial clerk, office temp, radio talk show host and cocktail waitress to craft this compelling collection of ordinary moments viewed with extraordinary insight. She counts the ability to drive a flat-bed truck, milk a cow by hand, and hit the occasional clay pigeon with a twenty-gauge among the more valuable skills that never made it into her professional resume.
