About this title

Synopsis

Two brothers face their mother's impending death.
A convenience store clerk balances compassion with duty.
A grieving soldier receives a package of cookies meant for someone else.
In this series of connected flash fiction pieces, people navigate the trials of life with tears, arguments and, above all, love and compassion. "Lives interwoven and cookies that arrive too late.
"This bravura collection of linked stories provides a profound lesson in empathy, of pouring yourself into someone else's life, someone else's pain, to see it from the inside, looking out." - Will Ferguson, Giller Prize-winning author of 419
