Publisher Description: The audience at the annual Writing Conference was speechless. Usually jaded from all the readings they attend, these writers were captivated as Pulitzer Prize nominee Molly Giles read from this latest short fiction collection. Giles is uncannily observant of women's lives, both the small details and larger emotions. Writing professor of famous students such as Amy Tan, Giles artfully weaves stories that are touching, sometimes alarming, and often funny, of women struggling to emerge into their truest natures as they reach out, change their lives and save themselves. These women -- doctors, housewives, activists, students, and teachers -- break the old patterns that have held them back and kept them silent. A pacifist ironically loves everyone in the world, except her ex-husband; a young woman warns of the horror of violence; a nervous mother sends her stormy teenage daughter off to college; a woman wonders why she was not promoted. Whether they are about love, relationships, violence, or careers, these powerful stories stir an intense sense of recognition in women. None of the women are victims. All of them talk. And all are worth listening to.
