WINNER-2025 THE BLUE RIDGE BLUE NIB AWARD
WINNER-2025 VIRGINIA GOLDEN NIB AWARD
Love stories as raw, complex, full, and surprising as love itself.
- What would you do for love?
- Follow a soul across time?
- Die for your country?
- Stay in a life that's slowly destroying you?
In this rich and wide-ranging collection, love is explored in all its complexity - how it breaks us, redeems us, haunts us, and transforms us. These are stories about connection to family, to strangers, to communities, to ourselves - and what happens when those connections are severed, tested, discovered too late... or right on time.
Fiction and nonfiction woven together, each piece illuminates a different facet of our most human and powerful experiences. Stories end. Love never does.
Sometimes love destroys us. Sometimes it saves. But it always leaves its mark.
