Sometimes they find it; sometimes they don't. Spanning a wide range of distinct perspectives, voices, styles, and settings, the ten shimmering stories in \u003ci\u003eHappy Like This \u003c\/i\u003eoffer deeply felt, often humorous meditations on the complexity of choice and the ambiguity of happiness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAshley Wurzbacher\u003c\/b\u003e's writing has appeared in the \u003ci\u003eIowa Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKenyon Review Online\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePrairie Schooner\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCincinnati Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eColorado Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGettysburg Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlaska Quarterly Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and elsewhere.
