In these twelve new stories of All I Want is What You’ve Got, award-winning author Glen Chamberlain deftly writes about the fragility of small town life. Chamberlain ushers us amongst the half-broken lives, sharing the moments of regret, yet allowing the redemptive qualities of her characters to ultimately shine through. From a night nurse confessing her forgotten desires to an invalid to a Chinese girl trying to piece together a past from a single photograph; from an elderly rodeo cowboy falling in love with a beautiful stranger to a woman acutely aware of her intricacies that lead to her own death, All I Want is What You’ve Got is that masterful book of stories revealing how the profoundest moments in life are the ones taken for granted.

Glen Chamberlain is the author of Conjugations of the Verb To Be. She has received the Pushcart Prize for the best writing in America’s small presses, the first Gilcrease Prize for fiction, and the Rona Jaffe Award for both fiction and creative nonfiction. The Rona Jaffe Award names her “one of the six most promising women writers in the nation.” Chamberlain also teaches composition and creative nonfiction at Montana State University.
