Image blurb: “Short story writers must get to the emotional core of a story quickly, showing the reader what’s at stake, unresolved or troubling. Even though some of these stories are no more than a few pages long, Alison Gadsby succeeds in getting to the heart of the matter….No happy endings or easy resolutions here. The pool may seem inviting and safe, but in Alison Gadsby’s world, the water isn’t necessarily so. There’s no lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk.”
