Summary:

"A sea witch, a bossy Virgin Mary, and a lesbian widow's wife--in ghost form--walk into a short story collection ... From a homeless teen abandoned by his scam-artist boyfriend and a woman who finds herself renegotiating the terms of her relationship with her lover's ghost, to the lovelorn Mary Louise, who struggles with butch bachelorhood, and a tribute to Grimm's "The Golden Goose" rendered as a jazz dance spectacle, Kristyn Dunnion's freewheeling collection goes wherever there's a story to tell--and then, out of whispers and shouts, echoes and snippets, gritty realism and speculative fiction, illuminates the delicate strands that hold us all together."-- Provided by publisher.
