About the book

"What do we reach for? Why grasp at what will harm us? In the stories of Where the Body Ends, damage is palpated by people diseased and deficient. Attempting to connect, René LeBlanc's characters seek salvation and redemption yet find at the end of their reach the same inadequacy that defines their physical and emotional selves. But they try. And this pursuit proves worthwhile, for despite grievous presentations of loss and betrayal and illness, this collection approaches the reader with an honest heart and an open hand. Unsentimental living--for those forced to sell their plasma or lock themselves away at night as protection from their disabled children--happens where the body ends and the world begins"--P. [4] of cover.
