Abstract
This collection of stories portrays a variety of lives dealing the aftereffects of loss. In “Robert the Lionheart” a boy seeks the DNA of his parents to recreate them and struggles with what that might mean. In “Weeds” a man disconnected from the world has his life altered after finding an abandoned boy. “Bottle Digging” shows a man who encounters a couple of bottle hobbyists that hinder his attempts to earn the money he needs to buy his daughter a gift. Years after losing a child, a husband and wife enlist a nephew to help them overcome their lost lives in “Comeback.” In the final story “Harm Thyself” a man tries to manipulate a war veteran to get the mental aid he needs.
