This collection of short stories features three very different protagonists, trapped in situations that will change their lives, for good or ill. Will young Lila lose her beloved sister? Will a man known for his discretion use it to catch a killer...and will he lose his last chance at happiness in the process? And will a woman sworn to heal be able to keep her vow?

"A Singularly Unsuitable Word" is seen through the eyes of a child, hiding in the weeds as she watches her sister's kidnapping. "Mouse House" stars a security chief, unsure whether his job will rob him of the love of his life. "Starch" features a nurse, holding the lives of a young woman and her daughter in her two hands. Step into the shoes of three people at their lives' most critical turning points, and see how they prevail.
