​
Barefoot On Broken Glass is the story of a young girl named Monterey, afraid to blink. Each time her eyes close, they open onto a new vignette of chaos, tragedy, and deaths of the young and very young. Waking one morning to find her sister lying dead a few feet away sent Monterey running haphazardly through the years, trying to distance herself from fear and guilt while searching for a way to reclaim a faith that would sustain her, searching for a way to finally stop crying.
