We Weren’t Looking to Be Found is one of the standout stories comes toward the end of the collection. True to the collection’s title, each piece exhibits a strong, clearly defined voice, delivered in a range of forms. The stories we tell ourselves are not formed in a vacuum, but they are also not set in stone; these writers illustrate that stories are meant to be interrogated, and truths are meant to be told.

I’M PRETTY SURE that what my parents hate most about my boyfriend is the fact that he’s white. That’s not to say they don’t like white folks. They like some of them just fine. But not for me.“It’s nothing against Roger personally,” my mother said when we first started seeing each other.

He’s really good at wrestling—he made all-state and everything—but he ended up in the hospital for a month after having a seizure in front of his whole family at Christmas dinner.

He still kind of doesn’t, but it’s not the reason my mom doesn’t like him. I can’t tell him this, though, because the truth isn’t any better. Plus, my dad’s clueless; he’s always griping about stuff like eating disorders and depression being these frivolous “white people problems,” ranking right up there with complaints about yachting season, fantasy football, and the constant urge to poi
