Overview
"The characters in these stories are in degrees of estrangement—from lovers, from family, from religion, but mostly from themselves. They cling to rituals—therapy, remnants from organized religion, categorization of the world through listmaking, even things as mundane as making jalapeño cream cheese at a coffee shop five days a week. Whether they realize it or not, they are searching for something—maybe love, maybe spirituality, maybe purpose—all while wondering if finding solace can even be achieved." --Abstract.
