Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring the idea that truth lies in life's extremes, Mary Otis's elegantly crafted debut collection combines the hilarious with the tragic. These partially linked stories follow the strange and comic adventures of girls and women united by sexual longing and misplaced passions: falling in love with an older landlord, a young librarian, or a married neighbor; getting fired for teaching time incorrectly; and receiving guidance from a drunk therapist. Quirky and funny, yet deeply human, the stories inYes, Yes, Cherriesseek answers to the questions of whom we love and why, how we search for love, lose it, or find it sometimes at the last moment and in the most unlikely places.
