From the expansive openness of Texas to the steep peaks of Montana, this collection of stories mines iconic landscapes–the internal mirroring the outer realms. Many previously published in Literary journals and anthologies, some, original here, all explore what it means to be human. They are stories of the heart.

Now an award-winning collection, it’s part of the canon of Texas female authors, and as one reviewer said, “Susan Mary Malone is one of the great fiction writers of our time,” and this, one of the best books about Texas.
