Kate Evergreen: Stories

At 48, Lorraine Cortez stops apologizing for her stretch-marked, heavy-breasted, soft-bellied body. After a humiliating public exposure, she steps onto a stage naked and launches a revolution.

In Vivianne Jordan's restaurant, the staff works naked. Her sons sleep in cages. When a shadow consortium offers to buy her system and build a city of slaves, the head cook must burn her kingdom down—or watch it become a nightmare.
