Sol has disappeared. Their Earth-born wife Lumi sets out to find them but it is no simple feat: each clue uncovers another enigma. Their disappearance leads back to underground environmental groups and a web of mystery that spans the space between the planets themselves. Told through letters and extracts, the course of Lumi’s journey takes her not only from the affluent colonies of Mars to the devastated remnants of Earth, but into the hidden depths of Sol’s past and the long-forgotten secrets of her own.

What We Pick Up is the gripping debut story collection from Portland author and screenwriter Stacy Brewster. In these 11 tightly-wound stories, Brewster turns cliches of boyhood and manhood on their heads, revealing the trappings and failures of American masculinity when viewed from any angle, especially a queer one. Brewster's stories of fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers - gay, bi, trans, queer - all manage to mix dark humor, earnest pathos, and a quiet reserve of hope to re-envision a different path forward for all of us.
