About the Book
Set on Colorado's Front Range in the 90s, this is a story of a young, isolated couple dealing with two converging fears, one internal and one external. Which are which?
"We watched the crows attack the mothstorm from every direction, they dove and turned and swooped, seemingly unaware of anything else but this feast swarming all around them. I saw a crow smash straight into the ground chasing one. I saw one hit yet another car, a little green Civic as it made its way through. I saw two crows smash into each other, they never stopped flying, they never stopped chasing moths. I wondered what the crows were thinking. Probably the opposite of me. They must have felt like the luckiest crows alive."
