When Any Kind of Love Will Do

"Liz Amaral is an original, both in her writing and her life. In these stories, you will find delight, horror, comedy, and love, and most of all, surprise. You will be confronted by your own darkness-the boogeymen who hide within you-and by your own humanity. This is a book you will not be able to put down. Hold on-it''s a great ride."
-Kathrin Seitz, author and producer
