At the heart of these eleven stories is one question: are women the rational beings we mean to be?
Some are ruled by reason, while others allow passion to suppress good sense. In the search for balance, they find their best selves. Or not.

A businesswoman questions her values when she learns her dead mother was never buried... A newspaper editor comes face-to-face with her biases when she misses the heart of a story... A once aspiring sculptor struggles to mold her newborn... At court to argue a minor trespass, a model citizen considers her crimes...
