Praire Madness

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Prairie Madness is a collection of fiction and non-fiction that examines the impact and power of loneliness, both lifelong and momentary. In some of this work, loneliness fuels acts of courage; in others it triggers denial and self-isolation. These stories examine the loneliness of illness, childhood, work and love. Through this exploration, my hope is to reveal the scars of loneliness, connecting with readers around this fundamental emotion.
