"Ms. Baier Stein's stories are powerful in both language and character... through a sharp lens of wit and intelligence... A powerful accomplishment."
Elizabeth Cox, author of The Slow Moon, The Ragged Way People Fall Out of Love
"Donna Baier Stein writes with the grace and precision of a poet, but also with a cool intelligence that creates intriguing stories that engage immediately, hold throughout, and, best of all, resonate in a reader's mind long after their conclusion."
Elizabeth Berg, New York Times bestselling author of Tapestry of Fortunes
"Donna Baier Stein uncovers the sometimes heady glint of danger in relationships in a brilliantly edgy collection of stories that gets under your skin even as it illuminates love, lust - and everything in between."
Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You
