About
The first collection of award-winning short fiction from the author of Bellflower and Things to See in Arizona; Mary Vensel White' s writing reflects " how we can endure and overcome our personal histories, better understand our ancestral ones, and accept the unknown future ahead." In " Driftwood," a woman in a sleepy desert town willingly jumps into the back of a stranger' s pickup to escape her quiet house. In " Griffin," an organized wife struggles to keep her family together and keep the beast of her husband' s mental illness away. And in the title story, " Resonant Blue," an egotistical architect shatters everything around him as he tries to connect with his loved ones and build a better life. A game show for those seeking love, a family wedding that unveils another secret union, a woman' s impulsive trip to Greece to find her first love- in these twelve stories, Vensel White' s characters face turning points. Whether backed against a wall, reeling from a loss, or forced to confront a painful truth, each doggedly pursues the glimmer of possibility shining on the horizon.
