The Blue Bitch

The short stories in The Blue Bitch examine family patterns of love and forgiveness. The narrator—a daughter and single mother—often finds herself torn between her affection for both parents. She tries to balance her responsibilities to them, to her child, to her brothers, and to her art. Torn by the desire to leave she discovers a fierce love that needs to stay. The questions are many but one answer remains: home is a state of mind.
