Wifey
**Description: A mystical, lyrical and haunting, psychological thriller that careens along the unexpected twists and dark turns in the tenuous marriage between a 22-year-old, primarily Asian, Miami-born daughter of well-heeled, immigrant professors and a 25-year-old, orphaned African-American man from the hard scrabble of Los Angeles, and their relationship's journey from L.A. to the suburbs of Dallas. "Wifey", a work of contemporary fiction--that also includes other diverse and multinational characters--highlights a variety of sociopolitical/sociocultural issues, inclusive of domestic violence, sustainability, racism, xenophobia, class divide, and spirituality, using the universalizing backdrop of food, and spotlights the smacking differentials within individual power, the hair-raising undertow of relationship secrets, and the prickling chill of unforeseen fates.**

Wifey:
"The restaurant was a dimly-lit, self-described coffee shop in a transitional area of Fort Worth, its faded, grey stucco facade almost invisible against the dreary and ailing backdrop. Inside was bustling and aurally electric with the din of a hundred conversations, the clinking of silverware and plates, and the movement of bodies without the insulation of sound...":

"Wifey" by Fey Ugokwe
"The sky suddenly darkened into a night, with a large spinning patch of daylight in the distance--and bright, rich, almost blindingly deep-blue flowers began to fall out of the air to everywhere...one huge stalk fell violently...its tip caught in her hooped, gold earring..." Wifey
