An old woman makes a deathbed confession, whether anyone is listening or not. A young woman struggles toward adulthood in the aftermath of a childhood refusal that haunts her. As one life reaches back and the other stretches forward, the stories of these two women reveal how the sparks of chance encounters and small choices can catch flame, giving light and destroying love, clearing space and transforming the human heart again and again. "...a story of intricate imagination, the nature of voice, and the surprise of how our relationships form us." -- Shann Ray, author of American Copper, winner of the Western Writers of America Spur Award and finalist judge for the 2016 William Van Dyke Short Story Prize Little Fire received Honorable Mention in the Glimmer Train 2015 Fiction Open
