Description: "In this collection of stories, Maud Casey explores how we survive modern crises of love and loss through the lives of women and men, some teetering on the brink of sanity and a netherworld of delirium, some grappling with a grief so tempestuous it threatens to paralyze them. Others simply want a sign that they have left their mark somewhere, on someone, and that someone is the better for it."--BOOK JACKET.
