  In the first anthology of its kind, Robert Olen Butler and Phong Nguyen assemble an astounding collection of stories that cause listeners to contemplate war, peace, and social justice in a new light. The fourteen stories featured in this volume explore the varied and often unexpected outcomes of violence. The authors explore the tragedies that occur closer to home—not on military battlefields but rather in places that are never meant to be battlefields, like schools and churches. The fiction reveals the violence that renders our most sacred and seemingly safest of places vulnerable. 
   
   
   
  Not a utopian project, this book asks whether literature has a role in furthering the ongoing pursuit of peace and justice for all. While exploring tragedy, these stories also offer hope for healing, illuminating how people can move forward from the moments when their lives change and how they can regain and reshape safe spaces to find solace.

Unfortunately, she never should have trusted that the Black Widow would hold up her end of the bargain. 
  So now, she and Marsha find themselves in the same predicament. Confined to a remote island and forced to survive under the most primitive and extreme conditions. Until the Black Widow whisks them off the island, separates them, and compels Aja to cooperate in a most unexpected project. A project that will have Aja compromising more than just her allegiance to SHIELD.
