Description: "In this Collection of stories and a novella, Anndee Hochman examines loss, faith, and love, and explores the complex anatomies of human relationships. Her tales are peopled by an assortment of characters, many of them adolescent girls and young women, all on the verge of discovering their roles in the world. A woman with an eating disorder learns a family legend that sheds light on her own obsession. A teenage girl who can't stop weeping becomes a hired crier in a funeral home.

A performance artist, who paints his body silver and dances outside of a Miami marina, scans the crowd each night in search of a familiar face."--BOOK JACKET.
