When I Always Wanted Something

When I Always Wanted Something is a collection of emotional, subtle stories about our struggles to uncover what is right in front of us or deep within us, and how people continue to engage with life and hope and other people. In these stories—about a woman who has a strange bond with the unjustly executed Rosenbergs; an old man in a hospital who shares his secrets with a visitor; a woman whose husband dies brutally in New York City; a teenaged boy lonely for his father—the yearning is endless. But so are the glimmers of unexpected joy.
