Shoes Hair Nails

A debut collection by Deborah Batterman. Eleven stories that sparkle with wry observations on everything from the art of coloring hair to the merits of spending days dressed as Minnie Mouse. Sensuous, full of heart and humor, these stories illuminate the secrets never shared between mother and daughter, husband and wife. With a sharp sense of the telling detail that defines a rich palette of characters, Deborah Batterman weaves narratives around the everyday symbols in our world and their resonance in our lives.
