Violet Rothko and Other Stories

A shy barista dates a quirky customer—until she learns something that shatters her life completely. A waiter dishes on the privileged suburban housewives who pile into his restaurant on Tuesday nights. Only a close few know the true colors of a famous movie star and self-styled humanitarian, and they wish they didn't. Life appears absolutely perfect for two newlyweds, until she's confronted with a revelation that leaves her with the choice of ending the marriage or moving forward. A group of young people live their lives aimlessly, except for one, who wants to be immortalized as an artist’s model. The daughter of a rich LA developer tries to open his eyes to the world he doesn’t wish to see, while his wife is slowly slipping away. These are intimate, sometimes funny, sometimes sad stories that in many ways capture our national dysfunction right now, and are filled with a wide range of people, from tragic to heroic.
