Reviews
"In linked short stories taking place across time, Reeves offers up two characters finding their own form of redemption. . . . Both humorous and deeply emotional, this collection shines for its beautifully written characters." -- Booklist, "These surprising, wonderfully funny stories glow with comic energy. The eleven pieces in It Falls Gently All Around serve as chapters in a deeply satisfying portrayal of characters facing the expiration dates on their old beliefs and their newly acquired convictions. Ramona Reeves has fully brought to life a cast of flawed, breaking people with bravery and resilience to spare. The book is a triumph of wise and compassionate storytelling." --Kevin McIlvoy, author of One Kind Favor, "These big-hearted stories offer a kaleidoscopic vision of Mobile, Alabama, a place marked by a tangled history and no less tangled present. With insight, humor, and tenderness, Ramona Reeves renders lives as notable for their frailties and bruises as they are for their grace and grit. Like the work of Sherwood Anderson or Elizabeth Strout, these linked stories take us deep inside a community, even as they plumb the solitary, fiercely particular depths of inner life." --Elizabeth Graver, Drue Heinz Literature Prize guest judge and author of The End of the Point, "The stories in this linked collection explore memorable characters in Mobile, Alabama. They deconstruct what the American Dream means and while the stories build off one another, they are masterfully crafted to stand alone." -- Debutiful, "Ramona Reeves's collection is a marvel, a round robin of people on the slide and people who were born there, the questionable nostalgia of the Old South and the absurdities of the New. A stunning intermeshing of class, race, history, and fate among people who undervalue their own lives in favor of other impossibilities. Reeves works the line between the mundane details of life and its moments of heady insight like an Olympic gymnast, and grounds it all in a fabulously wry comic sensibility. Pure magic." --Janet Fitch, author of White Oleander and Chimes of a Lost Cathedral, "There is a moment in Ramona Reeves's powerful debut story collection It Falls Gently All Around when a character believes 'He could make out ghosts swimming in the darkness, like another life he might have lived. . . .' It is one of several instances in the book when a story suddenly coalesces, and the reader is both surprised and moved, and this particular example speaks to a clear ambition of the author--to capture the elusive human moments that we all experience but for which we need an artist to genuinely see. This is a splendid book by an important new writer." --Robert Boswell, author of Mystery Ride , The Heyday of the Insensitive Bastards , and Tumbledown

Synopsis
Winner, 2023 Sergio Troncoso Award for Best Book of Fiction, Texas Institute of Letters Happiness and connection prove fickle in this debut collection of eleven linked stories introducing Babbie and Donnie. She is a thrice-divorced former call girl, and he is a sobriety-challenged trucker turned yogi. Along with their community of exes, in-laws, and coworkers, Babbie and Donnie share a longing to reforge their lives, a task easier said than done in Mobile, Alabama, which bears its own share of tainted history. Despite overwhelming challenges and the ever-looming specters of status, race, and class, the characters in It Falls Gently All Around and Other Stories strive for versions of the American dream through modern and often unconventional means. Told with humor and honesty, these stories remind us not only about the fallibility of being human and the resistance of some to change but also about finding redemption in unlikely places., Winner, 2023 Sergio Troncoso Award for Best First Book of Fiction, Texas Institute of Letters Happiness and connection prove fickle in this debut collection of eleven linked stories introducing Babbie and Donnie.

    Excellent! Retrostar Music is a very fair seller - they gave me a 5% discount on top of an already great price! They also communicated the status of my order quite frequently. The CD I ordered came in a box with plenty of wrapping paper to ensure it would not get beaten up in shipping. Usually sellers just send CDs in envelopes, so I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived in a box. The CD itself is in perfect condition. A+ experience! I would highly recommend this seller!

    "Retrostar Music" has always sent me "New" DVDs & CDs & "The Last Warhorse" was no exception. It also was shipped very promptly with all of the other items I sent for & arrived boxed carefully with no damage, in quality in every item & took less than a week - six days - to arrive. I was able to purchase a total of ten DVDs &two CDs after this seller provided me with a coupon which I redeem & here again "thank you very much to the seller". I can't communicate my thank you any other way.
