Reece Corbett grew up on the mean streets on New York City, abused, used and in trouble with the law. Pulled from despair, by a mysterious man named, Frank, the obstinate, angry street thug eventually earns respect and makes a name for herself, as well as a reputation, despite the demons that still haunt her. When Reece inherits a Gentleman's Club called ‘The Lounge’, after Frank's sudden death, protecting her ‘girls,’ especially one freaky little dancer with a heart of gold named, Cori, is the only thing she takes pride in.

The circle is always closing. In crazy times, this essential selection of the fiction and poetry of Jeannelle M. Ferreira holds out a branch of lights kindled from chosen futures and pasts always close behind, where history never confines itself to one familiar face and selkies and demons offer as much inheritance as memories, bodies, or ghosts. Intimately Jewish, integrally queer, these are tales for holding on to. They know how to remember and to change.
