The other emergencies experienced by Sarah Freligh's characters range from mildly disruptive to life-altering. In All That Water, a college dropout struggling with addiction forges an unlikely alliance with a bank teller following a botched robbery. In Aftershocks, a writer grieving the loss of her support dog is haunted by the memory of what she witnessed on 9/11. In Happenstance, two women from different backgrounds form a tenuous connection over the shared experience of their histories. And in Heaven, a detective and a high school girl navigate the fraught terrain in the days following a mass shooting in a small town. Ultimately the stories in Other Emergencies revolve around the resilience of people and the capacity for authentic connection in times of great change.
