Synopsis

This collection explores the lives we almost lived and the indelible marks people leave behind. Across eras and geographies, these stories feature a student who turns longing into language, a husband unsettled by a spectral ambition, a young assistant haunted by a Beat poet, and a grandmother whose deception spins out of control. Discover the narratives we construct and the ones that ultimately define us.
