Sally's first reading from her novel "The Winter Boy"
"The Winter Boy" (http://www.pixelhallpress.com/the_win...) is set in a post-apocalyptic world in which a cloistered group of widows forge peace by training the young men who will be leaders through sex and storytelling. This is one of their teaching tales, in which Meysrit convinces three of her enemies to try to sow the dream of peace between their tribes and fails. Their tribe attacks her village, in a bloody slaughter.
