The Only Thing I Have
by Rhonda Waterfall
The Only Thing I Have (Read an Excerpt)
Praise for Rhonda’s new book:
A new and daring voice, Rhonda Waterfall writes with clarity about the simple, utter truths of human relationships: the small yet essential things that could change our lives if only we let them. She introduces us to two contrasting worlds, one with the startling realism of everyday life and one where the world has been knocked askew.
Rhonda Waterfall has a true genius for narrative; her characters are everyday people who seem to lead everyday lives, but the everyday worlds that they inhabit (so like and unlike our own) are “complexified” by the strange turnings and obscure pitfalls of a unique, unrepeatable and remorseless reality.
―Stephen Osborne, publisher of Geist magazine
“These stories are short, sharp, and fiercely smart. It’s impossible not to be affected by the sly strangeness of this excellent debut.”
—Annabel Lyon, author of The Golden Mean
