The unsolved mysteries precipitated by a harmless prank resurface twenty years later when a boy from Sadie's old neighborhood returns to town.
Winner of the Grace Paley Prize in Short Fiction In Pins and Needles, Karen Brown explores the dynamics of love and longing between mother and child, husband and wife, close friends, and virtual strangers, often peeling back the facade of a seemingly stable suburban life to reveal the secrets and transgressions that even good people can be guilty of. In “She Fell to Her Knees,” Nell inherits the neglected house in which her mother died years before, and begins an affair with the neighbor. The narrator of “Apparitions,” who has recently returned the blind grandson she was raising to the care of his mother, invites a confused young man into her home. In “The Ropewalk,” a bartender haunted by her abandonment of her own child aids a customer in a struggle for custody of her daughters. A pregnant teenager in “Unction” comes to accept the reality of her situation while working a summer job in a bookbinding shop. Annie, the young mother with a tragic past in “Pins and Needles,” leaves her infant daughter to go on an errand in a snowstorm, and picks up a boy she doesn't know. Evocative, sexy, and haunting, these are stories that readers won't soon forget.
"A deliciously modern classic ghost story" —Chloe Benjamin, New York Times bestselling author of The Immortalists The Clairvoyants is Karen Brown’s most hypnotic novel to date--gothic-inflected psychological suspense that unmasks the secret desires of a young woman with a mystical gift On the family homestead by the sea where she grew up, Martha Mary saw ghosts.

It has now been retrieved from the enemy's hands, and she can open this hidden treasure chest of jewels that are designed just for her. She gets it now because she gets it.

After 40 years of protest and debate, we all know one thing for certain about abortion: it’s a women’s issue. Right? Wrong, says Brian Fisher in his groundbreaking reexamination of men and abortion. He reveals long-forgotten or never-known facts to show that abortion is very much a man’s concern. And it’s part of a long and tragic pattern of male oppression of women. Exactly opposite what you’ve been told. And why the original author of the Equal Rights Amendment, feminist Alice Paul, called abortion the “ultimate exploitation of women.” Fisher shows that a select group of compassionate men led the way in the 19th century to pass laws strengthening the criminalization of abortion—and worked with feminists of that era to do so. And it was men, not women, who drove the campaign that led to the 1973 Supreme Court ruling giving women an unqualified right to end the lives of their pre-born children. So what’s in it for men? As feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon observes, abortion “does not liberate women; it frees male sexual aggression.” Abortion is the ultimate get-out-of-jail free card for men with non-committal sex lives. Another agenda is at work as well. Men use abortion to advance their racist, eugenic, and population control dreams and schemes, as Fisher shows, citing their own words. And, if men gave us abortion, men can end it as well. Fisher outlines why and how, and urges men to take up the task with courageous women. He lays out a five-point plan for men to “with humility, faithfulness, and relentless perseverance, commit our time, resources, energy, heart, and testimony to ending abortion in America.”
