Diane D. Gillette's "We're All Just Trying To Make It To January 2nd" is a collection that seeks to question the meaning of the holidays whilst expertly examining emotive aspects of life that often coincide with celebration.

“Look, I’m married! I’m married!” she’d squealed to her brothers and sisters, showing off her shiny accessory. They shrieked and ran from her. “Gross! Gross!”
