In the title story, two women in 1850s Virginia marry brothers who promptly uproot them to follow the Oregon Trail west, until an unexpected shift of allegiance separates the sisters forever. Elsewhere in the book, a young boy's kidnapping ignites tensions in a sorority house; frontier figure Cynthia Ann Parker struggles upon her return to her birth community from the Comanche people with whom she's lived a full life; and in a metafictional twist, a gothic tale resonates in the present. In the novella, "A Thousand Stings," three sisters come of age in the 1960s over a long summer of small-town scandal and universal stakes. These are just some of the lives, shaped by migrations, yearning, and the long shadows of myth, that Holladay creates. She crafts them with subtle humor, a stunning sense of place, and an unerring eye for character"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $t A thousand stings, a novella. $t Shades -- $t Comanche queen -- $t Fairy tales -- $t Interview with Etta Place, sweetheart of the Sundance Kid -- $t Ghost walk -- $t Operator -- $t Hay season -- $t A thousand stings, a novella. 650 0 $a Short stories, American $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726740 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026542 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191126022102.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9990506101A11EA8DA14E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
