Other Heartbreaks

In this collection of elegant, moving stories, Patricia Henley explores the many bonds and betrayals among women: mothers, daughters, lovers, friends. Her characters, at once familiar and surprising, make their way through grief and discovery, revealing the power of their own hearts and of the landscapes where they reside. In Rocky Gap, June Peck and her family gather to honor their lost sister; in Red Lily the secrets and lies Jenny Rogers keeps and tells will change her life; in the haunting and hopeful Ephemera, Sophie March-Gonzales faces the worst kind of loss, and through that loss, finds a future to cherish. Don't miss the first collection of new stories since 1992 from one of our most powerful writers.
