About the Book
A beautifully crafted second short story collection from award-winning writer Alice Zorn.
With an uncompromising and relatable voice, Zorn travels through Mexico, Morocco, Texas, England, Austria, Tunisia, and northeastern Quebec in these seven short stories and one novella, each following a compelling narrator on a quest — to find someone who does not wish to be found, to discover the truth behind family secrets, to expiate guilt, to make new bonds, to realize a dream. Far from home, facing new mirrors, characters leave old selves behind and discover new ones. Alice Zorn shines once again in this exploration of friendship, love, art, work, gender, and cultural identity in this spectacular collection of travel fiction.
