All We Are Are Stories is a poignant collection of stories draped in the fabric of contemporary American life. Set chronologically from the 1980s up to the post-9/11 present, each story is framed by a different stage of life; although these tales are independent narratives, they work together as a collective journey that begins on the edge of awakening and moves from longing to mourning, meeting with angst, rebellion, denial, confrontation, nostalgia and loss along the way.
