Description

Set against the enduring tensions of small-town life, family history, and personal reinvention, this forthcoming work explores the ways people struggle to escape the stories others—and they themselves—have written for them. With characteristic warmth, wit, and emotional insight, it examines loyalty, regret, class, and the complicated bonds that hold communities together even as they threaten to keep individuals in place. The result promises a richly human portrait of ordinary lives shaped by extraordinary pressures.
