Kate’s 2¢: “Vanished: Stories” by Karin Lin-Greenberg
“Vanished: Stories” by Karin Lin-Greenberg
I enjoyed each of these short stories, especially the ones about teachers and students. It resonated with me by reminding me of some of the students I taught years ago.
Having a variety of readers brought uniqueness to each story and the readers did well.

Short Stories
“Winner of the Raz/Shumaker Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, Vanished tells the stories of women and girls in upstate New York who are often overlooked or unseen by the people around them. The characters range from an aging art professor whose students are uninterested in learning what she has to teach, to a young girl who becomes the victim of a cruel prank in a swimming pool, to a television producer who regrets allowing her coworkers into her mother’s bird-filled house to film a show about animal hoarding because it will reveal too much about her family and past. Humorous and empathetic, the collection exposes the adversity in each character’s life; each deals with something or someone who has vanished—a person close to her, a friendship, a relationship—as she seeks to make sense of the world around her in the wake of that loss.” — Provided by publisher. Unrated. Commercial audiobook.

Kate’s 2¢: “The Blaze” by Chad Dundas
saying…
Apparently, Matt’s Traumatic Brain Injury has less to do with his memory loss than the fright his Dad and his friend instilled in him when Matt witnessed a crime cover-up. Still, memory loss is no joke and individuals suffering with this should get professional help.
WebAbout me & my work. I’m the author of the acclaimed novels The Blaze and Champion of the World, co-producer of the award-winning history and true crime podcast Death in the West and co-host of The Co-Main Event MMA Podcast.
