The story of a woman simultaneously sustained and stifled by her affair, this book invites readers to ask how we come to be who we are and what it is exactly that we believe about ourselves. Skaggs investigates the heartbreaks we witness, the experiences we take into ourselves, and those we internalize through the pretense of avoidance. This book will leave readers feeling stronger and more capable.
Alberta Skaggs earned an MFA in creative writing in 2001 from Southern Illinois University Carbondale, with Kent Haruf as the thesis director for her novel Vy’s Place. In 2005, she won Southern Illinois University Carbondale’s top teaching honor for term faculty. She wrote the biography Crossing the Mekong (a combination of poetry and prose) for and with Chan Sang San. It was published in 2017 by Saluki Publishing.
