Fiction. In this new compilation of previously published stories Kat Meads, the award-wining author, reveals the secret selves of the ordinary person. In these seductive and witty short stories, Meads startles with her ability to pull us into the lives of her seemingly ordinary characters. "With mordant wit, a gemcutter's nerve, and an open heart, Kat Meads catches her characters as their composure slips and the truth, in all its fun and fury, comes out. Like the salt slap of an unexpected wave, her stories leave you startled, alert, exhilarated, newly conscious that you're alive"-Lynne Barrett.
