About
Linked collection of short stories by Jen Knox, winner of the Prize Americana for Prose and Pen/Faulkner nominee.
Resolutions is a multi-perspective family drama. Molly May is barely a teenager, but she is adept at navigating extremes. Between her self-help addicted and often-intolerant mother, rebellious and idealistic sister, and two younger brothers--Joey, who seems destined for stardom, and Myron, who seems destined for prison--she has her work cut out for her.
Meanwhile, Jasmine, a mother of four, is just trying to find some semblance of freedom. She dreams of finding relief from recurring energy 'shifts' that she attributes to a curse. It isn't until her oldest, Allie, is brutally attacked, and everyone is reunited, that her energy shifts for good.
Resolutions is an exploration of freedom and perspective through a coming-of-age lens.
