~ A woman’s ex-husband seeks her help when his girlfriend is kidnapped… The girlfriend who is her former best friend.

~ A woman celebrates her grandson’s christening, but her advancing dementia results in blank moments throughout the day and a turning point for her family. 

~ A man recalls the defining moments of his life as he tragically falls to his death.

These are a few snapshots from EVERYTHING INSIDE, short stories set primarily in Miami and Port-au-Prince, by Edwidge Danticat. 

Simply stated: this is a stunning collection.
