Thirteen Confessions

Thirteen beautifully wrought tales of crime, passion, and people on the brink of disaster Marybeth met Jamie at the Horn & Whistle, a neighborhood pub warm enough to keep out the chill on a bleak January day. Over a pint of stout, he won her heart with bad jokes and cynical Irish charm. Two years later, she loves him more than ever, but she can see that hes bracing for a fall. When everything collapses, when Jamies job disappears and the house is foreclosed on and Marybeth feels death creeping into her bones, its up to her to save them botheven if it means doing something that will tear them apart forever. Stray, along with the twelve additional short stories in this exquisite collection, showcases author David Corbetts unparalleled ability to build a life in just a few pages, and then shatter it in a single sentence. From the first confession to the thirteenth, these stories cut deepand show no mercy.
