First Kicking, Then Not -- Hannah Grieco, Paperback

A young woman transforms after an unspeakable loss. A recent divorcee discovers a new life. An aging mother fears losing everything she loves, while another abandons her children at Starbucks. First Kicking, Then Not introduces these women and many more, all of whom are hungry to know who they are outside the expectations of others.

The 15 works of short fiction in Hannah Grieco's captivating debut collection act as a mirror: Who looks back? Who do you want to see?
