Women regularly transcend and undermine the myths of everyday expectation in this collection of stories, establishing instead rituals of their own and fashioning new spiritual realities. These unusual, perceptive stories feature a teenage girl who discovers a smuggling ring in her family's church, a father making an uncomfortable confession on the eve of his daughter's wedding, and a couple seeking a mate for their dead son's semen samples.
