The collection explores the raw emotions that burst through when confronted with both betrayl and the passing of loved ones. One story in particular, Unravel, shows the journey of a woman who is so consumed with grief and pressure after a miscarriage that she steals a baby from another family. Another story entitled Land Mines deals with a character becoming preoccupied with abnormal feelings of her heart after finding out about a family history of heart disease while dealing with a rocky family dynamic.
