Over Our Heads Under Our Feet

Stories

From the winner of the Arts & Letters Prize for Fiction, a soul-stirring collection of short fiction.
Traveling from the poignant to the humorous and back again, Dwight Holing takes readers on a memorable voyage to the wilderness of love where people must reconcile desire and reality. These stories explore terrains both exotic and familiar — from the wilds of Africa where a couple must contend with an unspoken truth to a woman fighting for a child in an orphanage to a wind farmer falling under the spell of an island’s magic. They journey to the territory in our hearts where the human spirit dwells while marveling at the natural world’s ability to nourish our souls.
“Written with humanity and humor. Beautiful and moving.” – Kirkus Reviews
