Stories can lift us out of the hardest moments of our lives and carry us, for a little while, somewhere else. They can lead us to the heart of our hardest struggles, but slantwise, through imagined lives, when our own may seem unmanageable. The most sustaining, most healing stories can do both. Bringing such stories to readers is my mission.
