Picket Fences

A funny and poignant story about coming of age after you’ve already grown up.

Sloane Sawyer had it all planned—she and her best friend Stephie would graduate from high school, get out of Tippett Valley and have dazzling complementary careers. She would also have a loving husband, the requisite two kids and a house with a white picket fence.

As she turns thirty, Sloane has a boring job, no children, doesn’t own a house, has gained fifteen pounds and questions how her video-game-playing husband could possibly love her.
