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.

This timely book provides a synthesis of research, theory, and practical application to explore and examine the concept of privacy as both a universal human need and a function of interior design responsibility. While intended for intermediate and advanced design students, Designing for Privacy and Related Needs is useful for a variety of theory and applications courses and presents information about technology in a straightforward manner. Privacy needs and solutions are examined for residential, healthcare, hospitality, and work environments. Age-specific privacy needs are also covered. Students learn that privacy is not a luxury experience but a basic and restorative human need that reduces stress, enhances self-identity and creativity, and enables people to better manage both personal activities and social interactions.
