Summary
Spanning Canada, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, India, and a place with no name, these immersive and surprising stories follow characters caught between cultures, countries, and identities. As the distance between what they believe and reality begins to widen, they must reckon with what their choices reveal about who they are.
The arrival of a dying relative forces a young woman to reconsider the enigmatic family ritual she has long resisted. A girl caught between her white mother and Indian father enters a fantastical exhibit of human oddities. Fated to uplift her family from precarity, a college-bound teenager discovers that survival has its own moral economy. A matchmaker is undone by a woman whose beauty defies the standards of the marriage market. A home organizer becomes unmoored when a child’s treasured toy begins to glow in a way only she can see, awakening the losses and compulsions she has spent years trying to contain.
Alive with humor and tenderness, We Are Only Human is expansive in scope yet intimate in feeling—a transporting and deeply satisfying collection about family, duty, and who we discover ourselves to be when the stories we live by no longer hold.
