description: Here, in a vibrant and edgy collection, are brave and personal truths from men and women in their twenties in the 1990s. Here are tales of romantic entanglements in cyberspace; of entrepreneurial invention; of a madcap search for the perfect job...and the perfect love. Alongside stories of a Catholic single mother or a philosophical boxer come musings on a Southern roadtrip gone haywire and on a hilarious Midwestern childhood. These twenty writers take the particulars of their own rocky road toward adulthood and make them palpable, real, and universal.
