There is so much “story” in every story. Full of character and perfect descriptions and loops and weaves.  What I love most about the writing is that the author trusts the reader to “get it.” I audibly gasped more than once.

Very contemplative collection of stories that treat human emotion and decision making with so much kindness and clarity. It made me reflect deeply about my life and also put words to so many amorphous thoughts and feelings I’ve had over the years. I will be thinking about this book for a long time.
