Synopsis
With the same piercing vision that distinguishes her novel The River Beyond The World, Janet Peery unveils a stunning collection of stories. Settled mostly in the American Southwest, her characters-men and women caught between two places, literal and figurative-try to understand the mysteries that overarch or undergird their lives.

Review
“A seasoned storyteller . . . Wisdom, grace, humor, love-these are just a few of the virtues the years have taught Ms. Peery.” ―Paul Scott Malone, The Dallas Morning News
“Where are words of praise for superb writing in this day of wasted superlatives? Janet Peery's debut collection of short stories . . . deserves such words . . . This is writing of the highest order.” ―The Virginia Quarterly Review
“Wonderfully engaging, verbally interesting page by page, thoughtful and earnest in its concern with moral issues. This is a wonderful book!” ―Rosellen Brown
