Rekindle your love for short fiction! Seven taut tales deliver gut-wrenching twists with prose simultaneously lean and lyrical. From the misguided romantic hopes of a cowboy, to the poignant tale of a misfit orphan coming to terms with her losses and the unwelcome-but-longed-for grace that settles over her life, this collection of short stories is filled with quirky, flawed, and authentic characters. Themes of isolation, a longing for home, and the need to belong are accentuated by the lonely, wind-swept high-desert setting. This collection includes Mann’s award-winning work that has previously appeared in juried anthologies, as well as new short-fiction. The book is categorized as “Literary Collections | Southwest | Colorado. Highly readable!
“Mann’s collection wryly renders American life as wonder, will, and dogged whimsy. Strong and original. Highly recommended.” – Patricia Raybon, award-winning best-selling author.
“What I love about Mann’s writing is the way that she surprises me. Not in an “Oh-she’s- good” way. Because she is very good. But in a ‘Wow-I-didn’t-see-that-coming’ way.” – Michael Madigan, Author and Past President, Colorado Author’s League.
