Kate Gehan's debut collection of thirty-four stories is a wry, tender, and inventive exploration of the ways we manage relationships with our siblings, spouses, children, and even ourselves. Qualities of magic realism permeate her writing as characters navigate problems in a world where tumultuous emotions may literally burst into flight. In 'Now They Would Behave' a family's discord manifests as an escaped dragon they must tame. In 'It Grew to a Certain Size,' a mother blames herself for her daughter's death and finds solace conversing with her talking pet pig. In 'New Wavelengths' a woman harnesses unexpected natural power to seek revenge on her harasser. Gehan also lasers her insight to critique narrow definitions of female beauty, ultimately inviting us to envision a more glorious society.
