A woman juggles the demands of caring for her pregnant, unmarried daughter and her senile mother; a divorced woman tries to resestablish a bond with her young, estranged children; a middle-aged man finds precarious happiness with a woman half his age.As she explores both the poignancy and the underlying humor of the crises of today's families, Thurm presents us with charactes as familiar, as infuriating--and as endearing--as our own friends and families."Careful, assured, exact, she is a delight to read. She has a fine ear for the way people talk, a clear head, and a heart that is almost broken--'almost' because there's humor and wit and a glimmer of hope." -- Chicago TribuneWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
