by Rebecca M. Alvin

If you’ve ever seen news footage of a hurricane or tropical storm, you’ve likely seen the ferocity of the wind through the image of trees wildly wavering and bending, but not yielding. They reflect the power of the forces acting upon them while also demonstrating their resistance and resilience in the face of adverse conditions.

When Randi Triant thinks about how her latest novel began, she realizes it goes way back. Although she started writing What We Give, What We Take (an excerpt from which is on page 14) about 20 years ago as a short story, its origins go back to childhood.

SOURCE: PROVINCETOWN INDEPENDENT Obscured by trees, Rob DuToit’s Provincetown studio is easy to miss. Approached from the side, it appears as an innocuous whitewashed structure with a single door. But the odd angle of the roof indicates something out of the ordinary.
