\n"The characters who inhabit Sarah Layden's short story collection are on the verge of change--if only they could see themselves and their situations with greater clarity. Caught in the midst of crises\, they stumble toward the future without fully understanding th eir past. Layden's deft\, spare prose sketches worlds and lives with telli ng details\, juggling disparate strands of identity and often revealing th e deeper truths in unexpected moments of epiphany. A bride-to-be puts on h er detective hat when her groom goes missing. A woman returns to college a fter escaping an abusive marriage\, only to discover her professor is a fr aud. Reunited at a high school reunion\, two former classmates completely misinterpret a critical incident from a decade prior. These and other char acters find themselves lonely and in limbo\, their self-identity as blurry as the old photographs they cling to with stubborn intensity. Set mostly in the Midwest and upstate New York\, Imagine Your Life Like This captures everyday Americans in all their discontent\, misunderstandings\, and dogg ed determination for a better world."
