CATHERINE NEWMAN has written a gazillion columns, articles, and canned-bean recipes for magazines and newspapers, and her essays have been widely anthologized.

We All Want Impossible Things is her first adult novel. Not, like, adult adult in the porn way. Just, you know, for grown-ups. She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts.
