PIECES by Thomas Misuraca

Four recent transplant recipients are gathered at a Palm Springs resort for
Labor Day weekend. They soon learn their host is the widow of their

MRS. WHITMAN’S WORDS FOR WOMEN by Shayne Kennedy

In the fall of 1918, three young women converge in the recently built Martha Cook Building, one of the first female dormitories on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Their ultimate campaign, an effort to illegally distribute information about birth control to factory girls in Detroit, brings results none of them could have anticipated.
