In What We Hold in Our Hands, a teen mom longs for a different kind of life, a divorced dad struggles to come to terms with his ex- wife’s involvement in their son’s life, a woman cares for a dying younger sister, and a granddaughter wonders about the man her grandmother killed. The ten stories in this debut collection are about the difficult choices inherent in caring for children, siblings, and partners, and the limits and limitlessness of love.
