    When Vince Montague's wife perishes in a tragic car accident, he is plunged into a world of grief. After weeks of loneliness and despair, he begins to explore his wife's pottery studio in the wild hills of Northern California, teaching himself to mix clay, throw a pot, fire a kiln, trim and glaze. Just as his grief is ebbing and his future in clay is looking bright, a wildfire advances upon his studio and threatens to destroy everything he has created.¿Cracked Pot is a singular book: a story of love lost and the labyrinthine path through grief; a meditation on the craft of pottery and its power to inspire and restore; a rumination on the life of a writer and the refuge of words; an examination of how generational family trauma can shape an artist. Montague's haunting memoir is a kaleidoscopic and redemptive reading experience, one that serves to remind its readers about the cracks and the light. "Cracked Pot is a soul-baring memoir of love, creativity, loss, grief, and creativity again." --Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English

    Her Best Potential: The Performance Improvement Plan for Kika Klarakova is the management memo of a bureaucratic stalker. A life-long civil servant, Rose Chan thrives on the mundane rituals of cubicle life and government forms. However, her world transforms when she attempts to write a "performance review" of her enigmatic employee, Kika Klarakova, a woman who scorns convention and the bureaucratic world of social work. As her obsession grows, Rose Chan surreptitiously documents the personal life of her employee, wondering how the one person who might truly understand her is the same person who wants nothing to do with her. Who is Kika Klarakova? And why is Rose Chan drawn so close to her? In her lonely world of Sudoku puzzles and empty parking lots, Rose faces metaphysical questions about herself and her report. Is the act of imagination a gesture of freedom, or rather, as she fears, a symptom of self-inflicted folly?
