In this quirky, humorous, and deeply human short story collection, Pushcart Prize-nominated author R.L. Maizes reminds us that even in our most isolated moments, we are never truly alone.
“Told with humor and wisdom, these charming stories burst with possibility: At any moment, a character might risk all, or the world might tilt on its axis. Here is a wildly entertaining new voice, one to revel in.”
—REBECCA MAKKAI, Author of The Great Believers
“Each succinct fictional nugget rolls inexorably along its own quirky trajectory, arrives at its own unexpected destination, and never overstays its welcome … this is a book about the heart. Breaking news: Maizes’ gently witty and vaguely weird collection is well worth reading.”
—KIRKUS, STARRED REVIEW
“Maizes’s direct manner of storytelling and her imperfect yet unmistakably human characters are sure to win over readers.”
