Fiction. Collectively, these stories in INTO THE FIRE, gathered by the editors with intelligence and grace, are impressive in their geographical breadth.

Individually, these stories are distinctive in their emotional range: each one flying inland, straight into the heart of our experience - Cathy Song, author of SCHOOL FIGURES.
