Oh Trinities

A Short Story Collection

After a year of work, I’m proud to present my final undergrad effort and my honors thesis, “Oh Trinities.” Three short stories come together to tell stories of family, faith, and worldly frustrations. While I’ll be working on further edits and refinements, I’m excited to share this work with all those who have helped with my writing thus far.
