Winner of the 2020 Dzanc Short Story Collection Prize In Water and
Blood, the nameless narrator, a survivor of abuse, tries on other
women's stories like she is trying on their clothes. There is the
nun who learns to swim decades after witnessing her biological
sister's drowning in the Ohio River. The rape victim whose deathbed
statement is interwoven with the imagined voice of the rapist. The
young girl who is sent to stay with her alcoholic grandfather while
her parents care for a sick child. Out of scraps of reclaimed
history and imagined memories, the narrator creates a garment of
women's stories for herself-overlapping the seams between fact and
fiction, doing what women do: cleaning and restitching the wounds
of trauma, making a life with the things that are left over after
everyone else has taken what they need.
