About the Author Born in Lubbock, Texas, Kimberly King Parsons received her MFA from Columbia University.
TaKing us from hot Texas highways to cold family kitchens, from the freedom of pay-by-the-hour motels to the claustrophobia of private school dorms, these Stories erupt off the page with a primal howl--sharp-voiced, acerbic, and wise.

I loved every moment of this book." --Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties With raw, poetic ferocity, Kimberly King Parsons exposes desire\'s darkest hollows--those hidden places where most of us are afraid to look. . . .
