[Knight] writes gently and with great gobs of empathy."? Esquire? Wonderfully humane." ? PlayboyA Los Angeles Times Notable Book, Michael Knight's stunning debut delivers ten tales of ordinary people seized by extraordinary circumstances as their attempts at human connection result in frustrating false starts and ruinous misunderstandings.
