More DescriptionDianne Warren has crafted seven exquisite stories, each of them a near novella in scope and character. Warren's ear for the colloquial was honed during years of creating pitch-perfect dialogue for the stage, and her cast of hapless singles is as familiar as our most intimate friends.

Here is a world of casual violations, surprising fits of protest and small accidents with enormous repercussions.
