Sacred

by Amanda Brown

The red light district of Mumbai. The scorching, dusty rail station of Santa Fe. The clear waters of the South Pacific. The dark recesses of the hospital nursery. Amanda Brown in her first collection of short stories takes readers around the globe to explore the meaning of loss across culture. The collection from "The Lucky Ones" to "The Diver" challenges readers to confront humanity at its most vulnerable with characters and situations that will make some cringe, others laugh, some cry. "Different food, different traditions but the laughter, the happiness always felt the same. "
