O. Henry’s Guide to the Present

Stephen Gregg

The romance, betrayal, longing, and joy of six of O. Henry’s best short stories intertwine at the Vallambrosa rooming house, where Della Leeson lands after she’s abandoned by her new husband. Della slowly builds a life for herself in New York City: finding a community, overcoming tragedy, and falling in love. O. Henry’s twists take Della in unexpected directions, pulling her into the lives of the Vallambrosa’s other quirky residents. Full of whimsy and eccentric characters, O. Henry’s Guide to the Present showcases the beloved writer’s work at its most human.
