The women in the linked short story collection Once Removed carry
the burdens imposed in the name of intimacy-the secrets kept, the
lies told, the disputes initiated-as well as the joy that can still
manage to triumph. A singer with a damaged voice and an assumed
identity befriends a silent, troubled child; an infertile law
professor covets a tenant's daughterly affection; a new mother
tries to shield her infant from her estranged mother's surprise
Easter visit; an aging shopkeeper hides her husband's decline and a
decades-old lie to keep her best friends from moving away. With
depth and an acute sense of the fragility of intimate connection,
Colette Sartor creates stories of women that resonate with
emotional complexity. Some of these women possess the fierce
natures and long, vengeful memories of expert grudge holders.
Others avoid conflict at every turn, or so they tell themselves.
For all of them, grief lies at the core of love.
