Blind Spot is a collection of short stories about love and loyalty, lust and loss. The title story, about the inexplicable dissolution of a marriage, elucidates the human phenomenon of falling in and out of love this way: "We have a blind spot for love. Human biology and sociological and cultural influences be damned: we all still believe in soul mates, in everlasting romance, in rocking chairs on front porches of empty nests at sunset." The characters of the stories in Blind Spot depict the experience of trying to connect and the importance of maintaining a hope for and belief in love despite existing in a world full of disillusionment, death, infidelity, and uncertainty.
