The Other Side of Youth - Softcover

"Each story in "The Other Side of Youth" is a finely tuned powerhouse." --"Quill and Quire" (STARRED REVIEW)

"This highly realistic collection showcased Deeth's ability to write taut, compelling fiction about someone as familiar as the girl at the mall, or the girl next door ... "The Other Side of Youth" is the best collection of short stories I have read in recent memory." --"The Globe and Mail"

"A warning: these are the kind of stories, so resonant and startling, that they'll make you lose your breath, want to read sentences aloud, tear off paragraphs and hang them on your wall. Kelli Deeth mines the beauty and longing of women's lives with a rare restraint and precision. These stories are exquisite and heartbreaking, and seem destined to become classics." --Rebecca Godfrey, author of "Under the Bridge" and "The Torn Skirt"
