"She tries to stand, but the ghosts blow her back, their breath fastening around her like a seatbelt, locking her into the game. She pushes a red checker forward --- the only direction she could --- and hopes she's not devoured by the howling hearts of family."

A unique mix of lyrical prose and poetry, Monsoons challenges cultural and religious myths while reflecting the soulful grieving process of a woman for her father. Laraine Herring focuses on defining moments in her character's lives which ultimately lead them toward destruction or peace. Alternately realistic and hopeful, each piece focuses on the often desperate longing of the human condition to con-nect with others. This collection brings you face to face with your own demons, while at the same time illustrating a deep faith in the potential of human beings to discover love.
