Stunned and amazed at the deft hand Sarah Storme applies to her stories. And before you ask, yes, one can write about police who don't spew profanity with every breath. Reality is a good word to identify this story. There are no easy answers, no quick solutions to serious problems and secrets reveal themselves at the most inopportune time.I have chosen to live in the arid high desert, and this book reminds me why. With a deft touch, Storme brought me back to my youth in Florida where I scraped the atmosphere off my skin and the moldy surroundings filled my nostrils with every breath. Swamp mud above the knees? Excuse me while I gag and marvel at the writing.Yes there is violence, and there is sex between consenting adults who could love each other if they could just give themselves a chance. There is also heroism, and honesty, and going beyond what you think you can stand, to make things write again.A marvelous read.
