Daisy Chain is a collection of short stories that are linked by one line. The last line of each story is the first line of the next. They are otherwise unrelated. This is a concept that came to me a few years ago and it was an extremely fun project to complete. When a writer starts with one sentence and has no idea what the story will be about, it tends to unfold in unexpected ways. The subjects vary from love and betrayal to time travel to magic

Daisy Miller is one of Henry James' shorter and earlier novels. It was written in 1878. It portrays the confused courtship of a headstrong American girl by Winterbourne, a compatriot of hers who is much more sophisticated. His pursuit of her is hampered by her own flirtatiousness, which is frowned upon by the other expatriates they meet in Switzerland and Italy.

In Four Meetings and Daisy Miller, an American master sketches a series of deft psychological portraits that revive a now vanished world of Americans in Europe. In both stories, longtime American expatriates form memorable ties with passionate young travelers who fall prey to their own romantic fantasies.
