From the author of Seven Loves comes this austere, passionately
shaped collection of stories that courageously explores the dynamic
nature of modern marriage, the life-shattering heartbreak that
often accompanies its collapse, and the fickle way in which the
boundaries between us can be broken, erased, and newly defined. At
her daughter's wedding, an alcoholic widow finds a new beginning
when she is swept off her feet by the bride's former secret lover.
A man finds himself in a position of terrible power when he
discovers his ex-wife's boyfriend with another woman. A woman who
killed her policeman husband in a rage struggles to reconcile
feelings of emotional worthlessness and a longing for human
affection after two decades in prison. A widower of twenty-three
years introduces his wary daughters to his new love, a woman whom
he has decided to marry one week after meeting, and who once took
an axe to a bear to save her husband. Trueblood unites past and
present through her characters' complex personalities as she
skillfully unravels their tumultuous relationships, giving readers
a glimpse into marital circumstances that, though often tragic,
will surely ring familiar.
