A collection of short stories that examines the lives and experiences of mixed-blood and metis peoples in modern America
Toni Jensen is an assistant professor of English at the University of Central Florida. Her short stories have appeared in numerous literary magazines and have been reprinted in volumes such as New Stories from the South: The Year’s Best, 2007 and Best Stories from the Southwest.
"Welcome to the West as seen by the folks who shop at K-Mart and work picking up tips and cleaning motels. This is a portrait of America told with truth and love, tales at once funny as they are tragic. Toni Jensen writes from her heart." Sandra Cisneros, author of Caramelo "At first you'll wish you had written these stories yourself, then you'll suspect you feel that way because you maybe lived them, they're that real, but by the end you'll be thrilled just to have entered the world of Toni Jensen's fiction. This is an important debut, one that stays with you. Expect more from her." Stephen Graham Jones, author of Bleed into Me
