Summary

Even brief moments can change entire lives, and this collection of vivid and poignant stories introduce characters who suddenly find themselves in a world turned upside down. From the young professional who leaves her high-powered job to explore street life as a graffiti artist, to the gay man who falls in love with a woman, to the spin class fanatic who learns that there's a fine line between fitness and addiction, these excessive and radical characters create pandemonium wherever they go. Inspired by everyday people riding the Toronto subway system, the author has crafted a collection of 11 gender- and expectation-bending stories that reveal the extraordinaryand often heartbreakingtruths behind ordinary life, providing a fresh look at the world just outside the door.
