<p><strong><em>Hunting Geese</em></strong> by Sarah Rau Peterson is a short story collection that features characters as multi-layered as Montana herself. The unnamed protagonist in Hunting Geese grapples with life choices and his just out-of-reach family while positioned on the banks of the frigid Yellowstone River awaiting the descent of geese. She Would Have and The Needing Place addresses the dynamics of a complicated father-daughter relationship told from each perspective while skirting the issues of generational gaps and aging. Wednesday's Child's narrator wonders what she as a mother did to push her daughter away and Chickens is about well it's about chickens.&nbsp;</p>
