Glori Simmons’s new book,
Carry You
, is a timely collection of linked short stories that examines how war shapes and distorts our understanding of family, friends, country, and self.
Simmons draws out the humanity of her characters, their flaws and failings, their hopes and desires, and their dreams for the future. These stories show that the human capacity for violence, compassion, and love are not bound by time or place.
