Original. 30,000 first printing. AnnotationTangled sexual situations, crimes of passion, rape, and betrayal are some of the themes of these eight short stories by Holly Goddard Jones. A high-school basketball coach fears he has impregnated his star player. A father worries that his son is responsible for a rape. Two of the collections most powerful stories revolve around the rape and murder of a young woman--the events told in turns by the girl's mother and by the murderer. The parallel narratives create fascinating complexities and show--like many of these dark tales--that immorality is not a simple thing. A high school basketball coach learns that his star player is pregnant--with his child. The nightmare of a college student's rape and murder is relived by both her mother and her killer, whose contradictory accounts call to question the very nature of victimhood. In these eight stories, the fine line between right and wrong, good and bad, love and violence is walked over and over again.
