Synopsis
These stories roam the edges of society. They are the telling of ordinary lives found in the cracks and crevices. Her characters are bound by the enormity of self-made fate.
In the opening story, "The Price of Acorn," a naive and hapless couple sell their son to a pedophile in exchange for a washing machine. "Inside Molly Newton" is a first person telling of a girl so severely beaten by her drunken father that she has withdrawn into her own imaginary world. In "Two Empty Chairs" Caple invites us into the darkly comedic world of a 71-year-old prostitute who is diagnosed with syphilis.
