Why do we do what we do? Zou Zou explores this question in this compilation of
four short stories. The author ruminates about her journey to becoming a writer in
the humorous piece Writing, which tells of the inspirations and muses from
childhood to adulthood and the constant battle with the writing self.



In Abandonment, a married couple adopts a baby girl after the death of their own
daughter, and raises the child as their own. Unbeknownst of the shadow that looms
over her, the girl stumbles through life searching for approval and acceptance in
the wrong places and just when all hope seems to be lost, love finds her
unexpectedly.



In She She, one woman's long time obsession with her friend leads her on a path
of continual self-destruction.



And in Thirty-One Days of Love, the beginning and end of an affair between two
writers is documented by exchanging pieces of a story.
