Sherrie Flick's Whiskey, Etc., is filled with stories that are funny and serious, outrageous and everyday.
Readers will meet a cast of characters ranging from a woman who cleans her soon-to-be ex-husband's house to a woman who seduces her paperboy. These stories are short but pack an emotional punch, leaving readers reveling in the complexity of our strange lives.
