How Loveta Got Her Baby

By Nicholas Ruddock

Nicholas Ruddock, author of the critically-acclaimed novel The Parabolist, offers How Loveta Got Her Baby, a collection of thoroughly contemporary stories with the vitality and luminosity of classics. A girl enters a dangerous relationship during a convenience-store heist. A rockslide carries one half of a house away, leaving an orphaned child sitting in a highchair to await his future. And three young women get their babies in surprisingly different ways. As a host of recurring characters weave their way through these stories, and each other's day-to-day existence, Ruddock reveals how our lives are interconnected and how our connections generate life.
