The unmistakable voice of Amy Cipolla Barnes returns in this new hybrid prose collection.
Whether passing through the wreckage of the Oklahoma City bombing or pretending that a pickle jar could save a missing woman, these stories open imaginative landscapes that will leave you feeling both haunted and a little less alone..
These intimate vignettes comment on the many-layered realities of womanhood in modern life in a variety of settings.
As the title implies, Child Craft explores family relationships-typically from the perspectives of mother and daughter-and the ways that we continually shape them into something that can either help or harm us.
The speakers of Barnes\' stories inhabit a space at times surreal but always vivid, evoking emotional responses that take readers to a place they could not have anticipated from the opening lines.
To enter Child Craft is to enter a world of memories, both invented and remembered.
