"In nine stories of tension-filled choices, difficult awakenings, and ironic twists, characters in The Edge of Marriage ride the wavering line between commitments and promises. Full of conflict, betrayal, manipulation, and indecision, these stories portray men and women on the brink of defeat and drastic change.
Characters trapped in troubled relationships and on the edge of society walk along Kaplan's "edge": an out-of-wedlock child, a grown victim of child abuse, the male lover of a married man with AIDS. The title story confronts the complexity of friendship, love, and marriage, as a husband faces his wife's emotional breakdown and his own surfacing resentments."--BOOK JACKET.
