Prescient and idiosyncratic stories about the cost and joys of caretaking from a sharp-witted, ravishing (New York Times) writer.
These stunning stories, steeped in dark humor, startle and dismay, and introduce us to a cast of eccentric and wholly believable characters. Unexpected encounters confine and define the lives of strangers, while parents and partners navigate blended families and modern love: An older woman tells her waitress that she once left a newborn on church steps. A motel housekeeper makes a radical proposal to a guest. A teenager grapples with atheism and grief and eBay. A mother's world is disrupted and recharged after a neighborhood man gives her young daughter a telescope. Strange, heartfelt, sly, and wryly funny, Sarah Braunstein's stories ask us to confront the ways we try to make sense of our lives―and what happens when we escape from these preconceptions.
