Nine unique stories, nine psychological and spiritual portraits, nine ordinary people caught up in the extraordinary world of the human heart. After his wife's improbable betrayal, Francis navigates a lifetime of regrets and surprising discoveries. While his wheelchair-bound wife struggles to finish a jigsaw puzzle back home, Joseph flirts with a woman he encounters at the supermarket. For an up-and-coming young narcissist, love is a multiple-choice game he's sure he'll win every time. Bonniah, torn between her demanding husband and unlucky sister, faces a life-changing decision. Trapped in an abusive marriage, Norma is approached by a strange, daring young man the day of her daughter's wedding. Consumed by guilt and regret, Brian attends the wake of a lover he once abandoned and meets her husband and son. Wanting to leave his painful past behind, David decides to move to Spain, but before leaving, he agrees to help a colleague's mistrustful wife by spying on her husband. When a lover from the past reappears in his life, Nick is faced with an unforeseeable, life-threatening decision. After losing his job to corporate downsizing, Amador recalls the day long ago when his father threw a dinner plate against the kitchen wall and comes to a deeper understanding of the real world. A rare and illuminating short story collection. R. Garcia Vazquez's literary prose conditions the eye to the dimly lit places where the lonely and wounded begin to discover the amazing possibilities of who they can become.
