Description
A doctor attends a weekend medical convention in St. Louis; a new mother shops at a Minneapolis suburban Target with her newborn and indulges in a secret habit; two rural southern Iowa brothers hunt a rare mountain lion; a teenage girl attends the ten-year anniversary of her dramatic rescue from a deep pipe on her uncle's farm in rural Missouri; a young woman comes across shocking information while working in a Des Moines hospital records department. Midwesterners reveal secrets at pivotal moments in their lives in Release of Information, award-winning writer Kali White VanBaale's radiantly gripping story collection. Exploring marital roles, complex family legacies, abuse, and generational trauma, the interconnected characters and stories move through time and space, as VanBaale catches ordinary people in extraordinary moments of revelation.
