Stefani Jaye Farris’ new collection of stories presents a singular view of rural America, of broken-down towns not far from the cruel indifference of nature. Through the cloudy window of a backyard pottery studio, a woman barely older than her partner’s son wonders where he goes at night. A curious girl learns to escape the volatility of her family by entering the dazzling worlds on her microscope slides. A writer finds darkness in the person she loves when she goes with him to study the symbiotic link between wolves and ravens.

Farris’ candid prose gives us weary women and men finding in nature both refuge and captivity, heartache and home.
