Description
Tomlinson has crafted a debut collection around characters who cannot let go of their past, from a woman who finds herself trapped again with her first big mistake to a returning soldier who finally feels capable of exacting revenge for a long-ago family tragedy. Tomlinson's characters struggle to escape their personal histories but are thwarted by a paralyzing inability to do so.
