“[Gershow’s] acclaimed first novel, The Local News, was published 15 years ago, while this assemblage of shorter fiction was 20 years in the making. The wait was worth it — these tales feature intricately detailed characters who blunder through life’s dilemmas, big and small…The characters are so truly drawn, and the interior narratives they entertain are so brutally and sometimes hilariously honest, it is difficult to look away.” Barbara Lloyd McMichael, Bookmonger
“In ten stories you won’t forget, Gershow writes with a sharp eye for detail, impeccably wry wit, and unerring insight into the human heart. A stellar collection.” —Jacqueline Doyle, author of The Missing Girl
“Miriam Gershow has a knack for fictional characters so keenly human that you expect any one of them to show up at your front door.” —Debra Gwartney, author of I Am a Stranger Here Myself and Live Through This
