About this title

Synopsis

Dianne Warren has crafted seven exquisite stories, each of them almost a novella in scope and each engrossing long after the last line. As the title suggests, many of the characters in the stories behave recklessly, or are tempted to do so, with enormous consequences for their otherwise safe lives. Each of the stories features a crime or illegal activity of some sort -- casual violations that bring home the fragility of her middle-class characters' lives. As her men and women travel within their small circles in suburbs and towns, serendipity wreaks havoc with their too-comfortable lives. Here is a world of casual violations, surprising fits of protest, and small accidents with enormous repercussions.
