  Finn 
   
  I came home to forget the ocean. To forget what it took from me. Surfing used to be everything, until it became the thing I couldn't survive. Now, I'm stuck in my hometown, dodging questions, helping my twin sister by looking after my niece. All the while, pretending I've got a plan. A hookup app was supposed to be just a distraction. Nothing serious. But then I met Foxx. He's smart, serious, and hot as hell. I swiped right without knowing he'd wreck me in the best possible way. 
   
  Foxx 
   
  After my divorce, I built a life I could manage. It was quiet, structured, and safe. Numbers always made sense to me hence my job as a math professor. People though? Not so much. Especially not flirty blond surfers who crash into my life with too many secrets and no right to make me feel this alive. I told myself it was just one night. But Finn pulls me out of my head in ways I haven't let anyone do in years. And when I realize he's not just a hookup, but one of my students in my night classes? The line I swore I wouldn't cross blurs fast and I'm caught up in a riptide. 
   
  Contains mature themes.

  A smashing debut collection from award-winning filmmaker Lulu Keating
  		 
  Splinter & Shard is the debut story collection by acclaimed filmmaker-turned-writer Lulu Keating. Vivid and precise, the stories in this collection offer an uncompromising journey into what it means to be human.
  		 
  Keating catches her characters at their pivotal moments of discovery, self-reckoning, and change. A dutiful mother of grown children learns a life-shattering secret about two of her children that upends her life. A macho man in mid-life must reconcile himself to his new role as a cosmetics consultant. A young woman, pregnant and unhappy, travels to the Yukon to bury her husband. An old woman turns away from her family to bond with the convicts of the small jail next door. An orphaned girl stumbles onto an unexpected connection with a stranger.
  		 
  In these stories, flaws and strengths are writ large as characters fumble toward redemption.
  		 
  From flash fiction to deep-dive character studies, Splinter & Shard turns over the rocks of everyday experience to reveal the psychological and philosophical truths underneath. The stories range back and forth in time, from Nova Scotia to the Yukon (with a side trip to Florida), and explore universal themes — loss, infidelity, faith, mortality, and love.
