Publisher's Synopsis
Detailing the lives of artists, lovers, brothers, and strangers, this collection of stories acutely probes love and loss, men and women together, and the family ties that bind. A father renews an old artistic rivalry with his dying son; a raucous family gathering ends in tragedy; a quick stop to pick up a hitchhiker begins a chain of events that changes a man's life. Dark yet uplifting, these tales journey to the heart of what matters in the tangled lives of people on the edge of crisis.
