Full of wit and humor, Sherrie Flick’s second collection introduces readers to big worlds and major characters in short, sometimes very short, stories.
From a woman buying corn who gets more than what she bargained for to a cowboy down on his luck, these complex stories serve up love and loss, longing and heartbreak, and cruelty and tenderness in poetic images and the most satisfying of moments.
