For All the Noticeable Reasons is Lynn Stegner's superb collection of nine remarkably distinct tales of passion, clear-eyed knowledge, and integrity honed to a cutting edge. These are stories the listener can't tremble: A female living a marital shadow life realizes that her long compensating heart has started to ominously decompensate. An affluent New Yorker becomes a hoarder to escape another he cannot keep to take up. A baby dies in a miasma of sibling resentments, and from that the secrets of culpability unravel. A development worker and a bereaved young neighbor along discover a way to be in a broken world. And in the amazingly moving narrative that closes the volume, a tale about the depth of goodness and work and of the profound love they both define preventing. From the untamed rivers of British Columbia to the concrete jungle of Manhattan, Stegner pulls us from our very own worlds into her own. With luminous particulars and in richly orchestrated vocabulary, these stories sound the vibrant, sometimes anguished music that composes individuals lives.

While not every name we submit becomes a New York Times best vendor or a national best seller, we have been committed to books on themes that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not normally find a home.
