Review

A dysfunctional mother wreaks havoc at her teenage son’s graduation. A
husband loses his wife to the woman he introduced her to. The husband of
a woman facing breast cancer steals a breast prosthesis from a breast
cancer seminar. A mother of two young girls diagnosed with heart disease
at the age of 37 experiences marital breakdown. A lesbian confronts the
harsh reality that she may be on the verge of losing her pregnant lover
to a man.

Jane Eaton Hamilton’s short stories are an emotional tidal wave.
Gripping, suspenseful, moving, and at times funny, they take the reader
on a heated journey into the lives, loves, and losses of some
unforgettable characters. Impossible to put down, this powerful
collection demands to be read over and over again.
