The people in Rawlins's debut collection brave the Big Questions about relationships, love, and death, finding that just getting by is not enough. Asking for truth or understanding, they struggle with feelings often too deep, too new, too disquieting to articulate.

PAUL RAWLINS' fiction has appeared in Glimmer Train, Southeast Review, Sycamore Review, Tampa Review, and Prism. He lives in Salt Lake City.
