This Just In… How You Leave Texas by Alana Cash

How You Leave Texas by award-winning filmmaker and author, Alana Cash, is a volume of three short stories and a novella about four young women who leave Midland, Austin, Fort Worth and Mayville, Texas for New York, California, Jakarta, and in one instance, jail.

The young women seek escape from boredom and sorrow and they find it. Hilarious, tragic, and revelatory, the stories are about extraordinary women with ordinary lives.

Alana Cash taught writing classes at the University of Texas, informal classes in Austin, Texas, and was one of 60 U.S. teachers chosen to be profiled in the PBS series A Writer’s Exchange. She currently lives in Los Angeles.
