"There was something to be said for ignoring a facet of life until the moment you most desperately needed it."
A young woman reflects on the moment her father deserted her as a child at a baseball game, and the reason she still goes back to watch. A divorced father encounters someone unexpected at a train station. A Jewish girl mourns the passing of her great-grandmother, only to discover the value in the legacy she left behind. Each character in this collection of stories has a unique experience with a loved one, but what they take away from those moments is far more important than the event itself.
From debut author J.S. Rosen comes a brief but impactful array of tales about familial relationships and the incidents that can unravel them-or oftentimes, make them stronger.
