Six stories follow the life of Ruby, a Michigan girl living, struggling, and searching in San Francisco in Tamara Skidmore's raw and moving story cycle. Her Midwestern memories intrude upon her California present, haunting and helping her as she works in a shirt factory, does temp work that leads nowhere, waltzes across the Golden Gate Bridge, miscarries and terminates pregnancies, bears children, and wonders about the great heights and darkness in her life. Starkly real and exacting in its endurance and spirit, Summer & Other Stories is a soulful exploration of a woman's dangerous proximity to ruin and rebirth.
