When Frances White, a trauma ICU nurse, flees the United States after a traumatic family event, she finds herself in the most remote place possible: a fishing village off the west coast of Ireland. Despite her best attempts to wall off her heart from the rest of the world, she befriends a local fisherman with as many secrets as she has. Their growing affection slowly erodes the protections they put in place to guard themselves against desire.
Allison Cundiff's publications include the novel Hey Pickpocket (2025, JackLeg Press), two books of poetry: Otherings (2016, Golden Antelope Press), and In Short, A Memory of the Other on a Good Day, co-authored with Steven Schreiner, (2014, Golden Antelope Press), and two chapbooks: Snapshot (2023, Bottlecap Press), and Just to See How It Feels (2018, Word Press), She is a graduate of the University of Missouri (MA English Literature, MEd Secondary Education) and Truman State University (BA English Literature). She teaches at Lindenwood University and at Parkway North High School.
