Shadows and Shades

"No, ma'am, Mrs. Emerson. You see...she...she was...Well, Mrs. Emerson. She was in the water." Shadows and Shades is the story of two families struggling to make meaning of senseless situations: death, drugs, divorce, and deliverance. "...you think you are going to mandate to me what happens to this child. Hell no. Hell no." "Do you think he admires me now? From his grave?" "... you are all those things. The beautiful part and smart part and all the rest." "Well, I have news for you. I. Take. Out. My. Own. Trash."
