Bulletproof Girl

In Bulletproof Girl, Quinn Dalton offers eleven raw and witty stories powered by a rich mix of women''s voices.

The stakes are high in these diverse narratives. "Dinner at Josette''s" explores the nature of female friendships in the story of a woman whose best friend is in love with a gay man. "Midnight Bowling" follows seventeen-year-old Tess as she escapes her fanatically religious mother''s pipe dreams and her dead father''s legacy. In "Lennie Remembers the Angels," a woman confronts a long-ago vision as she recovers from a hit-and-run accident. In "Graceland," a once supportive businessman''s wife turns to murder. And in "How to Clean Your Apartment," a jilted lover creates a spring cleaning reference guide as she tries to get over her man.

At times tragic and savagely funny, Bulletproof Girl is a dynamic anthology from a strong new voice in fiction.
