Trust Issues

WINNER, Contemporary Fiction, International Impact Book Awards (2025)

FINALIST, Fiction, Eric Hoffer Awards (2026)

Someone or something lurks around every corner, but K.P. Davis's characters have come prepared. These are women carrying on their daily struggles in a dangerous world, striving and searching for safety. They include Nell, an antisocial, nomadic, shade-tree mechanic and getaway driver; 'Bula, an odd girl who talks to animals; and a whole host of others who follow lonely paths spreading empathy while kicking ass. The endings aren't always happy, and these women have plenty of reasons to be afraid, but they keep on going. The twenty sharp, poignant, and biting stories in Trust Issues comprise a stunning beacon for hard-headed folk fighting to be heard when nobody listens.
