After the death of Felicia's mother and the recovery of Edgar's, Felicia drops out of high school and takes a job as caregiver to Edgar's mother. The odd-couple relationship between Edgar and Felicia, ripe with miscommunications, misundertandings, and reprisals for perceived and real offenses, has some unexpected results. Years later, Felicia's son Armistice--'Army' for short is a teenager fixated on a variety of get-rich-quick schemes that are as comic as they are indicative of the immigrant son's fear of falling through the cracks. When Edgar re-enters Felicia's life at a typically (for him) inopportune moment, the book's exhilarating final act is set in motion and the full import of its title is revealed."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Single-parent families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a High school dropouts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women caregivers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Single mothers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Toronto (Ont.) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a High school dropouts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00956087 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Single mothers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119370 650 7 $a Single-parent families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119481 650 7 $a Women caregivers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01737965 651 7 $a Ontario $z Toronto. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205798 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061242.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118022008.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200711010614.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200701010428.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D549BBEAAE011EAB9A2E32697128E48 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
