Jacquelin Gorman grew up surrounded by hospitals and physicians. Her newest collection of stories, The Viewing Room, (University of Georgia Press) uses her experience as a hospital chaplain to explore what it’s like to console a family as they visit a loved one for the last time. Sena Jeter Naslund says that these stories “exhibit a deep caring about the preciousness of life and the strength of the bonds that can link us to one another.” The collection won the Flannery O’Conner Award for short fiction.
