This collection of short stories by award-winning writer Rebecca Bowman attempts to make sense of those bits of unfinished business we all have in our past. Set in small town Texas in the Seventies and Eighties, they examine issues that at that time confused us but that we now know made us who we are. Like the tea that reappears over and over again, these glimpses into people's lives are a blend of the bitter and the sweet. In this collection Bowman delves into the nature of violence and of love, of foolishness, of wisdom, of hope and disappointment and reaffirms the fact that the truth is a kernel to be found in all our lives.
