A romance unexpectedly sparks between two wounded friends. A marriage
ends for what seem like noble reasons, but with irreparable
consequences. A young woman holds on to an impossible dream even as she
fights for her survival. Two lovers reunite after unimaginable tragedy,
both for their country and in their lives. A baby's christening brings
three generations of a family to a precarious dance between old and new.
A man falls to his death in slow motion, reliving the defining moments
of the life he is about to lose.
Set in locales from Miami and Port-au-Prince to a small unnamed country
in the Caribbean and beyond, here are eight emotionally absorbing
stories, rich with hard-won wisdom and humanity. At once wide in scope
and intimate, Everything Inside explores with quiet power and elegance
the forces that pull us together or drive us apart, sometimes in the
same searing instant. **
