The Heart Is its Own Reason

"These stories roam the edges of society. They are the telling of ordinary lives found in the cracks and crevices. Her characters are bound by the enormity of self-made fate.". "In the opening story, "The Price of Acorn," a naive and hapless couple sell their son to a pedophile in exchange for a washing machine. "Inside Molly Newton" is a first person telling of a girl so severely beaten by her drunken father that she has withdrawn into her own imaginary world. In "Two Empty Chairs" Caple invites us into the darkly comedic world of a 71-year-old prostitute who is diagnosed with syphilis."--BOOK JACKET.
