Synopsis

Lacy Shelton and her sister Hope couldn't be more different, despite being less than a year apart in age. Lacy is captain of the debate team, poised to be Valedictorian of the high school and waiting for an admission letter from Yale any day. Hope is captain of the swim team, but will be happy if she gets into community college.
Hope has taken everything Lacy ever wanted, from pacifiers to high heels. But Lacy won't let that happen again, not this time. She won't let Hope take the new guy in school, and she sure as heck won’t let Hope ruin her chances with Yale. Until a shocking death changes all of Lacy's plans. Now stuck in a court-mandated psychiatrist's office, she's forced to relive the months leading up to the tragedy to determine whether Hope will take her future, too. 
Alternating between Lacy's and Hope's points of view, Already Gone pieces together a tense puzzle of sisterhood, betrayal, mistakes, and ultimately forgiving someone who can be gone in a blink.

Full disclosure: One of the forty stories is mine. Did you know there were so many ways to run away? A fast car. A little boy's own fast feet. Shape-shifting into a bird then taking flight. Throwing on a hide, making an offering, then joining a wolf pack. Or in one's own dreams, be they asleep or awa......more

I'm in here and I share real estate with some heavy-hitters. Each story is a gem. Get it just so you can read "Corpse Mom Discovers the Ten-Step Korean Skin Care Routine" by Hema Nataraju.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on April 03, 2024

Ever wanna get away? Of course you do. Sometimes. Usually. Always. Whenever. Now? Sure, why not. I am drawn to collections of short stories for their style, beauty, economy, craft, and punch. Shorts are also an easy means of escape, because sometimes we all need to, well, get away. Even if only for......more
