Book Description
Whether she takes on evolution and modern manhood,
international adoption, real estate, the movie industry, science and
faith, art, or terrorism, Gartner fillets the righteous and the
ridiculous with dexterity in equal, heartbreaking, and glorious measure.
Angels
crash land, lovers speak IKEA, a mountain swallows tony West Coast
properties, and a killer stalks the great motivational speakers of North
America.
These stories ruthlessly expose our covert fears
and fathomless desires and allow us to snort with laughter—while
grieving at the grotesque world we’d live in if we all got what we
wanted.
