Compelling stories from beginning to end ~ Freligh is a master of brevity, humor, and heart. The characters are so REAL and pulsing with life and grit.
In prose sharp and gorgeous, Sarah Freligh portrays the emergencies of our lives--both life-altering and everyday. A divorced veteran and his aging father roll a joint and reminisce on family during The Price Is Right, and a high school student who witnesses a mass shooting supposes about heaven with a detective. In all of the stories of Other Emergencies, the moments of our lives become holy.
