Book Description These stories are bright, emotionally engaging, tangible. Moore marks out the precious moments her characters' lives against deceptively commonplace backdrops - a St. John's hospital cafeteria lit only by the lights in the snack machines; a half built house "like a rib cage around a lungful sky"; a fog-soaked one-traffic-light town - and the results linger long in the memory. Moore shows us that love, alongside desire, comes sometimes as a surprise, sometimes an ambush.
