An environmental journalist in Washington, DC, Rachel has shunned her New England working-class family for years. Divorced and childless in her middle age, sheâs a true independent spirit with the pain and experience to prove it. Coping with challenges large and small, she thinks her life is in free fallâuntil sheâs summoned home to deal with the aftermath of her motherâs death. Then things really fall apart. Surrounded by a cast of sometimes comic, sometimes heartbreakingly serious charactersâan arriviste sister, an alcoholic brother-in-law and, most importantly, the love of her life recently married to the sisterâs best friendâRachel must come to terms with her past, the sorrow she has long buried, and the ghost of the mother who, for better and worse, made her the woman she is. Lively, witty, and painfully familiar, this sophisticated and emotionally resonant novel from the author of The Great Man holds a mirror up to modern life as it considers the way some of us must carry on now. 541 $d 20240125. 600 14 $a Women Journalists $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Divorced Women $x Fiction. 650 $a Homecoming $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 $a Bereavement $v Fiction. 650 $a Families $v Fiction. 651 1 $a New England $v Fiction. 655 $a Domestic Fiction. 700 $a Sands, Xe,. 941 $a 1 945 $a cda 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20240305044746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=208EDE06DABF11EEBE8532184BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
