From the Author:
Thank you for considering CARRY HER HOME, my debut collection of short stories, winner of the 2018 Fiction Award from the Washington Writers' Publishing House. You will find stories that are written from the heart -- from flash fiction, some stories as short as 50 words or so, to full length stories-- many about girl being raised by her Pop after a tragedy strikes her mother. Yes, this is my story, but it's also fiction because as the narrator confesses in the last story in the book "...your memory will have blank spaces, long pauses to heal. When you are old, like you are now, some memories will arise when least expected. Like a call in the night, this knowledge of your younger self will awaken you, and you will know it is not a dream. You will be able to talk then, even if you don't want to talk." Read on...
From the Inside Flap:
"These stories of how a family comes together and is undone, how the people we love leave and stay, how the reverberations of what happened way-bakc-when retain the power to shake us to our cores today, now, forever." -- Leslie Pietrzyk, author of Silver Girl and This Angel on My Chest"With the propulsion of a great novel and the density of a poem, Bock skillfully guides us back and forth through time and into the hearts and psyches of myriad characters, the most affecting an Italian woman, her Jewish husband, and their progeny. These stories, varying in length and form, cohere, largely because we always know where we are, right at the center of Bock's big beating heart." --Michele Brafman, author of Betrand Court and Washing the Dead
