In Unraveled, a collection of original fiction, Regan effortlessly weaves together reoccurring images and themes from eclectic situations and vantages into a patchwork quilt of life coming apart. These vignettes detail snapshots of innocence, insanity, sobering realities, and the haze in between. What holds the patchwork together is the novella "Loose Threads." In it the reader is introduced to Anne Gray and her parents as they each come to terms with living in the aftermath of her older brother's drug overdose on the night of his high school graduation. Through it all Regan writes with deftness, poise, and good humor bringing us from the depth of desperation to the edge of deliverance, savoring every moment.
