Lilly loved trilliums. She knew that when they finally appeared, there would be no going back to the hunker-down days of winter
--from "Splendid Purpose" in A Bigger Piece of Blue by Dan T. Cox. That phrase "hunker-down days" is terrific!
Cox's debut collection of short stories bracingly honest and sometimes pretty raw. I like the back-of-the-cover description that says:
"The stories touch on love gone sideways, love rediscovered, and love everlasting."
A Bigger Piece of Blue got a good early review on Kirkus.
I mangled the opening sentences in my recent Book Beginning post, so please go back to here and read what the opening really looks like!
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by The Purple Booker, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
Good teaser. I like the idea of the collection based on what you posted. Hope you're enjoying it! My Teaser is from a humorous cozy.
