In this collection of stories, Sullivan takes you into the lives and psyche of her characters. She shares the soft pain as a character watches a loved one slip into dementia. Through her characters, you question what is or isn't abuse; is the value of a gem more important than the memory of the person who gave it? Ultimately, through her characters and stories, Sullivan invites you to examine your own experiences, decisions and memories.
