Breath and Other Stories Terry Wolverton

Terry Wolverton is the author of nine books, including novels, memoir, and poetry. BREATH AND OTHER STORIES is the first time her short fiction, written over the past two decades, has been collected in one volume. In "Breath," a mother wrestles with how much freedom for her daughter might be too much. In "Sex Less," a lesbian contemplates her waning desire and what impact this might have on her identity. In "A Whisper in the Veins," a man attempts to tell his mother he's been diagnosed with AIDS. In "News," a woman's life is taken over by her preoccupation with the headlines. The characters in Wolverton's short fiction speak to us about their inner lives in ways that are unforgettable.
