short stories, each of the writers’ sto- ries taking about one-third of the col- lection with the themes of love, crisis, and water. Geneve Bacon’s interrelated sto-
ries, “What I Did for Love,” follow a young woman through the mine field of finding/exploring love. Not with- out tragedy and pathos, she learns - albeit dramatically in an exotic set- ting - that she must first love herself and forge her own identity before she can have any success at finding love. Te middle section of the book,
entitled “Coping with Purgatory,” belongs to Toby Heaton. Heaton’s stories take heightened moments of suffering and reveal character’s choic- es during painful struggles in their lives.
Te last section of the book, “Wa-
ter Stories,” belongs to Heather New- ton. Newton’s stories center around
themes of revelation, rejuvenation, and redemption. Some of the more intense stories
center around incest, Vietnam vets and the ravages and legacies of any war, and children in crisis and or danger. Each of the three writers ex- emplifies courage in taking on con- troversial themes. Te book cover is a painting of the
historic Flatiron Building by water- colorist Ann Vasilik.
