About this audiobook

When a tragic event splits Rosa's family apart, she finds herself on her own embracing freedoms she's never had. She meets Dan on one such night of freedom.

Dan has dreamed of otherworldy Rosas since he was young, but never thought he'd meet her in his life. When he finally does, he can't get her out of his mind.

Just as everything is looking up for Rosa - she's found a man she loves and her life is stablizing - she's forced to confront her own complicitness in her family's destruction. Will Rosa choose love or family?

"It's a beautiful story about love, loss, grief, and infidelity." - Finnialla, editor of Pulp Lit Mag

Stacy Gonzalez and John Maddaloni bring Rosa and Dan to life in this duet production of Arcing: a novelette.
