*Winner 1995 Saskatchewan Book Award for First Book
This collection of short fiction focuses on the challenges posed by female/male relationships, concentrating on women and girls losing and recovering themselves. Because they often have to find their way without traditional support systems, they have books, maps, or astrological predictions through which to figure out themselves and others.
