Without the Cliff is a narrative exploration of how the reality of trauma and healing can co-exist. Sometimes stepping forward, sometimes stepping back, this collection provides the reader with glimpses of the possibility of healing and change without the magical promise of "happily ever after." By highlighting the rebellious joys that can emerge through queer love and friendship, Caitlin Coey tells a story that intertwines the truths of pain, healing, love, and survival.
