Life is made up of moments strung together like beads. These short stories give us a glimpse into the private moments no one ever witnesses; they crack a window onto moments when things turn in an instant, are born, die, or go astray. Told with poignant honesty, they are stories that lay bare the quiet, internal lives of people falling in love, losing their way, reaching the end, or finding their truth. And they echo with something achingly familiar to all of us -- those moments within ourselves.
