An alienated daughter reconnects with her mother. A woman questions her reality as she struggles to recognise herself. An awkward car ride home from the airport leads to reconciliation. A family enjoys a lavish meal together.

From the moment we are brought into this world, we are seeking connections, seeking love, seeking belonging. It is as fundamental to the human existence as breathing, and yet, it is something we all struggle so despairingly with. We spend so long trying to fit in that we neglect to see the connections twining us all together.

Nothing Rhymes with Orange is a moving anthology that offers contemporary meditations on the complexities of belonging. This diverse collection of short stories, personal essays, and poems is sure to tug on your heartstrings and challenge your understanding of what it means to belong.
