RELATIONSHIPS HAVE THE POWER TO PROFOUNDLY IMPACT OUR LIVES in ways we never could have anticipated-and take us to places we least expect. This collection of short stories explores the euphoria of newfound love, the agony of loss, and the darkness some may be capable of when they're pushed to the brink.

In one story, a young woman approaches a teacher with a life-changing revelation. Will her presence shatter the family he has built in North America, or has she arrived just in time to hold them together? In another, a man seeks revenge for the death of his young niece, only to realize he's become the very thing he detests. And when a man reunites with his long lost sweetheart after decades apart, will they get a second chance to make it work? Or is their relationship doomed before it has a chance to begin?

In this collection, John Connolly weaves a diverse, colourful tapestry of tales about love, loss, and hope, proving that no matter how different the paths we take through life may be, we are all connected by the experiences that make us human.
