In the title story, a devastating drought leads a mother of two deep into the Colorado Rockies in search of water. In The Handler, a woman leaves her boyfriend for the New Hampshire woods and fifty-seven sled dogs. A distress call from a boat in Massachusetts Bay compels a mother, in Sea Women, to plumb her daughters secrets. A girl torn between truth and expectation shows her courage in a funereal performance in Barn Burning. And in Bending the Map, a woman turns the tables on her obsessive, would-be lover after a powerful storm ravages her canyon home.\n\nThe characte.
