Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The Hat is a story about a young woman, Allison, an art teacher in Albuquerque, who goes to Chicago around the winter holidays for the funeral of her stepfather Vince, who has died suddenly of a stroke. Adding to the tension is the approach of Christmas, supposedly a happy time, and the vivid memories of a stalker boyfriend who disappeared about a year ago. Allison's past includes troubled family relationships, an ex-husband, and earlier affairs of an often destructive nature. She struggles with memories of her troubled relationship with her stepfather Vince, as well as dealing with her family's denial about it, along with a current, unknown stalker, and a new, promising relationship.</p>
