Swimming with Strangers, Chronicle Books, 2008 "The Nursery" has been selected for The PEN/O. Henry Prize Stories 2009 "Usually I read like a glutton - one sitting, that's my style. But after finishing the first two stories in this collection, I chose to parcel the others out, one per night, the better to make them last. These stories, brimming with insight and subtlety and emotional suspense, completely took me over. How does a writer so young turn up such wisdom on every page? I LOVED these mature, humane, enthralling stories - every single one." Monica Wood , author of Any Bitter Thing and Ernie's Ark: Stories. Purchase the book here.
