Not Waving

“As seductive as pressing your ear to the neighbors’ door to eavesdrop on their secrets, Kat Meads’ stories pull us into the lives of seemingly ordinary people, startling us with what they reveal about our own hidden selves.  With lyrical sadness and offbeat humor, Meads peels away her characters’ layers of illusion to expose their reality in pristine prose. Not Waving delves into the complexity of plain people who wonder, Is happiness  even possible?  Their answers are as surprising and human as this magical collection of stories.”  Marjorie Klein, Test Pattern
