About this Author
Reviews
"Each of Umezurike's stories leads the reader down a comfortable path, until it is abruptly uncomfortable. His consistent skill in twisting plot lines and the driving needs of his characters is rare in short story collections, no matter where they take place. Lost family, betrayals, the idea--and illusion--of home, and grand, fierce gestures of love flow through this book. Reader: let these outstanding stories wash over you." - Kimmy Beach author of Nuala: A Fable
