And Then You Apply Ice

Pamela Kripke will present her story collection And Then You Apply Ice which features women and girls who encounter varying degrees of hurt - to their emotions, bodies and brains - and try to figure out how to move forward. The stories examine parenthood, love, divorce, infidelity, expectations, grief and mainly, the complex resilience that imbues the female experience.
