<p>Grease Stains, Kismet, and Maternal Wisdom is the whimsical, emotional, often reckless love story that we've all had or wish we've had. The tale follows David and Samantha, two virtual strangers from opposite coasts united for a week in autumn-cloaked Massachusetts, as they experience each other as only they know how. Sometimes shy, nervous strangers, other times merged as a single, physical being, the two dance for us as the clock winds down and their reality bends but never breaks, sometimes odd, sometimes beautiful things bursting from the creases.</p>

Mel Bosworth possesses a genuine and gentle humor. In Grease Stains, Kismet, and Maternal Wisdom, he introduces us to David and Samantha who exist in a world which allows them to be innocent and absurd and doesn't punish them for it, a world in which the future is fixed and known yet completely invented as it's approached. This paradox tugs at our perception of narrative, the future already past. During the short time they have together, they're not ashamed to have fun, or to embrace their fear of what's already happened. David and Samantha shape the world around them, a world many of us would rather live in, "just like real people." -Eric Beeny, author of Snowing Fireflies
