What happens when childhood trauma haunts our lives? Set in Houston, Corpus Christi, and Austin, Pictures of the Shark, a novel-in-stories, traces the effects of the emotional bargains made in a dissolving family through the youth and early adulthood of its central character, Buddy Turner. The stories explore trauma and addiction, emotional blackmail and abuse, and moments of redemption and grace.
