Summary
The fifteen stories in this book introduce readers to characters, lonely and adrift, who are searching for connection. In "A Full-Service Shelter," a volunteer at a dog shelter tirelessly, devotedly cares for dogs on a list to be euthanized. In "Greed," a spurned wife examines her husband's affair with a glamorous, older married woman. And in "Cloudland," the longest story in the collection, a woman reckons with the choice she made as a teenager to give up her newborn infant.--adapted from jacketHempel's collection of exquisitely honed stories introduces characters, lonely and adrift, searching for connection.
