Publisher's Synopsis
Any moment in every life can be viewed as worthy of treasuring, whether that moment is filled with despair or joy, or just feels like a universe of emptiness. Caught is a collection of stories that explore the deeper human themes: expectation, desire, loss, hope, fear, joy, redemption. And while the collection as a whole is relentlessly empathic, each retelling is colorful and sharp; here acidic and humorous, there bittersweet with pathos. In this era of increasing social disconnection-in which technology is replacing intimacy and life occurs at a pace that challenges our ability to stop, observe and interpret our own existence and its relationship with those around us-Caught's celebration of the everyday experience offers nourishment for the harried soul.
