SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKS ARE MY BAG FICTION READERS AWARDAn obligatory note of hope, in a world going to hell Lizzie Benson, a part-time librarian, is already overwhelmed with the crises of daily life when an old mentor offers her a job answering mail from the listeners of her apocalyptic podcast, Hell and High Water. Soon questions begin pouring in from left-wingers worried about climate change and right-wingers worried about the decline of Western civilization. Entering this polarized world, Lizzie is forced to consider who she is and what she can do to help: as a mother, as a wife, as a sister, and as a citizen of this doomed planet.&quote;This is so good. We are not ready nor worthy&quote; — Ocean Vuong

    A woman walks into a dentist’s office and says, “I think I’m a moth.”

    The dentist tells her, “You shouldn’t be here. You should be seeing a psychiatrist…”

    The woman replies, “I am seeing a psychiatrist.”

    The dentist says, “Then what are you doing here?”

    And she says, “Your light was on.”
