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.
