Sculptor Amy Freeman wakes one ordinary morning to find her 14-year-old son Zach gone, the only evidence of him a stray flake floating in the milky water of his cereal bowl. Seven years later, in the same California town, a middle-school science teacher (referred to by everyone except his girlfriend Roxana as "Mr. Candine") suddenly finds God. His revelation sets him on a collision course with a troubled student looking to exorcise his own demons--and lands Mr. Candine in the middle of a lawsuit. Bracketed by two cataclysmic events, Dance of Souls weaves together the stories of Amy, Zach, Mr. Candine, and Roxana with those of a school principal, a troubled student, and a documentary filmmaker. Amy's blossoming career leads her to New York; Zach searches for the woman who enticed him to run away from home at 14; Mr. Candine wrestles with God and the law; and Roxana wrestles with Mr. Candine. Careening between the serious and the lighthearted, the divine and the secular, the novel looks at the longing we all share to find meaning in our lives, the countless ways we search for it, and what happens in the aftermath of those personal cataclysms that either change us forever or barely disturb the surface of our oblivion.

A few more seconds and it will be too late.” A mother aches to reach her ballet-crazed teenage daughter. A boy becomes the object of a nanny’s obsession. A woman measures love, loss, and achievement by earrings misplaced. A man enters an unusual relationship with his wife… and a dog. In this collection of short fiction from novelist Audrey Kalman, you’ll find characters struggling to make sense of the world and their place in it, with results sometimes tragic, sometimes funny, and always relatable.

A lifetime of missed connections. One moment that will change everything. In a placid California suburb, thirty-seven-year-old Sean Masterson holds his mother at gunpoint. “You have to listen to me now, Ma,” he says to Ginny. She does listen. But she also talks: about her life, lost love, and the mistakes of a misguided young girl. In telling her story, Ginny begins to see the possibility of redemption. What Remains Unsaid is about the stories we could never imagine behind the faces we think we know. But sometimes even brutal honesty and the promise of forgiveness may come too late to save the ones we love. If you like diving deep into our tangled connections with one another, you’ll love this meditation on the tragedy and hope of the human condition.
