A collection of stories that reveal Kinsey's origins-- and Grafton's past. The nine stories that open the book show how fully formed Kinsey was from the beginning. The thirteen stories in the second part feature Kit Blue, a younger version of Grafton herself. In between the stories, she gives us some insight into her own past; how her writing was influenced by the alcoholism of both her parents, and how writing helped her take responsibility for her own future.
