    About this ebook

    Leta's death leaves her husband Mac with his memories and one famous holorecording.  On June 16, 2001, Leta ate at a restaurant called Anna's, and a time travel recording made of that day later became a sensation. Leta collected all of the versions of that recording, but Mac has never seen it. Until now.

    Called "hauntingly sad" by the Sacramento Book Review, and chosen as one of the best science fiction stories of the year, June Sixteenth at Anna's is one of Kristine Kathryn Rusch's most memorable stories.

    "…what a writer [Rusch] is. Her subject matter may cover the normal topics of science fiction and other genres, but the main memory you take away is the way she approaches the story and her unique vision for the characters."

    —The Baryon Review

      JUNE SIXTEENTH AT ANNA’S

      June Sixteenth at Anna’s . To a conversation connoisseur, those words evoke the most pivotal afternoon in early 21 st century historical entertainment. No one knows why these conversations have elevated themselves against the thousands of others found and catalogued.

      Theories abound. Some speculate that the variety of conversational types makes this one afternoon special. Others believe this performance is the conversational equivalent of early jazz jam sessions—the points and counterpoints have a beauty unrelated to the words. Still others hypothesize that it is the presence of the single empty chair which allows the visitor to join the proceedings without feeling like an intruder….

      —liner notes from June Sixteenth at Anna’s,

      special six-hour edition

      On the night after his wife’s funeral, Mac pulled a chair in front of the special bookcase, the one he’d built for Leta over forty years ago, and flicked on the light attached to the top shelf. Two copies of every edition ever produced of June Sixteenth at Anna’s—one opened and one permanently in its wrapper—winked back at him as if they shared a joke.

      Scattered between them, copies of the books, the e-jackets, the DVDs, the outdated Palms, all carrying analysis, all holding maybe a mention of Leta and what she once called the most important day of her life.

      A whiff of lilacs, a jangle of gold bracelets, and then a bejeweled hand reached across
