About this book
The stories in this collection give voice to the history and soul of a
rural collective. These people want to belong-to themselves, their
families, their communities, and their God. Their motivations,
disturbing at times, expose their love, loneliness, and their limits. As
one character reminds readers, "We move beside and around and in
between each other until something-sometimes good, mostly bad-pushes us
together. Then we have to get close, real close, and it's no easy job
for any of us." From the dizzying Thanksgiving table to the sobering
graveside service, these stories exist in their acts of agency and
grace.
