Allsorts features 43 short stories that were submitted to the inaugural Sydney Hammond Memorial Short Story Competition.

Loving Nalini is a romantic short story about Brad, a white Australian medical student who is struggling with his feelings for his Indian best friend Nalini, whose father expects her to return to India with her medical degree and enter an arranged marriage. Rachel is proud to be part of this socially important anthology along with many talented writers.
