A place beyond the heart

A Place Beyond the Heart is a collection of short stories exploring issues at the intersection of war and love, terror and (disorder, and identity, gender, and sexuality. The stories, which take readers from 1960 to 2050 and around the world, capture the lives of people facing personal, societal, and transcultural challenges that define, transform, and ultimately create shifts in the way they see and experience the world. These transformations-uplifting, heartrending and sometimes rebellious—unfold in diverse contexts where love, acceptance and tenderness find expression in the most difficult settings, including battlefields, war-ravaged towns, death row, and intangible rooms in a future world.
