They love to drink and have sex; they make bad decisions with men who either love them too much or too little; and they haunt a Southern terrain of gas stations, public pools, and dive bars. Though each character shoulders the weight of her own baggagewhether its a string of horrible exes, a boyfriend with an annoying child, or an inability to be genuinely happy for a best friendthey are united in their unrelenting suspicion that they deserve better. These women seek understanding in the most unlikely places: a dilapidated foster home where love is a liability in "Big Bad Love," a trailer park littered with a string of bad decisions in "Uphill," and the unfamiliar corners of a dream home purchased with the winnings of a bitter divorce settlement in "Charts." Taking a microscope to delicate patterns of love and intimacy, Miller evokes the reticent love among the misunderstood, the gritty comfort in bad habits that cant be broken, and the beat-by-beat minutiae of fated relationships."--Amazon.com. 521 1 $a Adult. $b Brodart. 650 0 $a Young women $v Fiction. 941 $a 10 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012031437.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518021230.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053816.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070700.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006103230.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045518.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20170302013524.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20170301011055.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20170202010706.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170124010415.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8B410344DFB011E6A14432AADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
