In her eight books of fiction, Sandra Scofield mined the hearts of ordinary people getting by in lives that don't seem to matter a lot to the larger world, but that touch the very core of what it means to be human. In this collection, a daughter looks for her father's ashes in his partner's back yard. A grandmother worries she's going to end up in a nursing home. An artist looks back on the mistakes of her youth. Scofield lays out whole lives in the flash of moments. Her close and loving attention to her characters honors them—and us.
