Eagles and Canaries is a collection of humorous and insightful stories about trailerhouse people, hillbillies, and men who for women they cannot have.
The men in Eagles and Canaries are under the illusion that all women fall into one of two categories, those who are out for a wild time at the man's expense and those who are looking for a husband first and a good time second. In the end (or near it) these men learn that women are complex beings, far beyond the comprehension of mere human males.
