Yes, Yes, Cherries

by Mary Otis
$9.90
Yes, Yes, Cherries
Yes, Yes, Cherries

Humor melds with poignancy in feminine life vignettes.

Dive headfirst into Mary Otis's world where the outlier emotions become the norm, where you'll chuckle and wince at the quirks and quandaries of the characters' lives. It’s a thoughtful pick for anyone who appreciates the intersection of humor and heart-wrenching moments, where off-kilter love and life lessons are in no short supply. Yes, Yes, Cherries will resonate with you if you've ever found yourself rooting for the underdog in love or life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Quirky and hilarious, yet deeply human, the stories in Yes, Yes, Cherries contain an affection for human strangeness while exploring the idea that truth tends more often to lie in the extremes and along the outer edges than it does at the center of things. Exploring the idea that truth lies in life’s extremes, the partially linked stories in Yes, Yes, Cherries follow girls and women who are outsiders and find themselves in unusual circumstances. A lonely teenage girl falls in love with an older, married neighbor. A woman attends a party at the home of her boyfriend’s ex-wife. A schoolteacher gets fired for teaching time incorrectly to grade-school students. And a young woman recovering from a breakup receives guidance from a drunk therapist. Poignant and sharply rendered, Otis’s stories seek answers to the questions of whom we love and why, how we search for love, lose it, or find it―sometimes at the last moment and in the most unlikely places. Quirky and hilarious, these stories display a knowing affection for human strangeness.
