A Different Bed Every Time

"Jemc's novel *My Only Wife* is a brilliant, haunting, and heartbreaking debut that explores themes of loss and love."—*Largehearted Boy*

A thief steals the air from a room. Children invent a nursery rhyme to make sense of their fate. A band of girls rot from the outside in. These characters stumble through joy and murder and confusion, only to survive and wait for the next catastrophe to arrive. Moments so brief and disturbing you can't afford to look away. Jac Jemc's affecting stories mine the territory between what is real and the stories we tell to create understanding.
