THE GENUINE STORIES is a collection of linked short stories centered around Genevieve "Genuine" Erikkson, a woman with an uncanny ability to heal people. In her own voice, and those of family, friends, and the healed, Genuine's experiences peel back and expose the gritty aspects of power and privilege, the far reaching limit of parental love, the perpetually oscillating balance in relationships, and the ineffable nature of grief.
