A wife turns to infidelity and drugs to distract her from chronic pain following an accident. A teenage boy attempts atonement in Amsterdam after having exploited and betrayed his naive girlfriend at home. A socialite must confront her dark past as her husband’s deteriorating illness erodes both her bank account and social standing. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Intimate and raw, this new edition of Frangello’s short fiction includes two previously unpublished stories.
