I was honored to receive an ARC of this precisely written collection by Karin Cecile Davidson. This is a collection of stories about the lives and relationships of women with each other, significant and insignificant others, and the world. The scenes are crisp and memorable, as are many of the lines, but what makes this book stand out is the depth of emotional truths that invite us to face realities of life past and present with the honesty only strong fiction can manage.
