In Douglas W. Milliken's latest collection of eerie and unsettling short stories, a dementia-ridden mother expounds on quantum physics to someone she is unconvinced is her son, a young man repeatedly tries and fails to end his own life, and the owner of a horse farm communes with the ghost of the woman he loves.

As Jess and his wife Alma begin their life together in a nameless 1950s Pacific Northwest town, they unhesitatingly descend, with defiant passivity, into every major and minor pitfall that family life and bleak social conformity can offer-from adultery and petty shoplifting to being pressured by neighbors to dig a hole for a "Heritage Pole."
