Publisher's Note
The author of Familiar Ground and The Ragged Way serves up a haunting but comical collection of new short stories that explores the lives of ordinary people and how they deal with the extraordinary that happen to them.

Industry Reviews
"Cox's harsh vision is all the more effective for being conveyed by a disarmingly genteel prose....[A] collection that manages to map that elusive territory where devastation and hope miraculously intersect."
Atlantic Monthly - Stephen Amidon (09/20/2001)

"[Cox] has a spare, clean style... The longer [stories]... provide room for her plots to move through time and sprout in unexpected directions, as if they were mini-novels."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Harris (03/06/2001)
