Her characters are searchers, uneasy in one way or another. They yearn for connection. They question the definitions assigned to them as wives, mothers, and daughters; they seek their own way within isolated, and often isolating, circumstances, reveling in small, everyday epiphanies and moments of clarity. In the riveting opening story 'M&M World', a woman is plunged into panic when she briefly loses one of her daughters at the vast and over-stimulating Times Square store. In 'Slow the Heart'. a single mother tries to ease tension at the dinner table with Roses and Thorns, the game she knows the Obamas played in the White House. In 'Radical Feminists', a woman skating with her two children encounters the man who derailed her career years earlier. And in the poignant, 'A Mother Is Someone Who Tells Jokes', a mother reflects on the nursery school project that preceded her son's autism diagnosis."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t M&M World. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Blue hour. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Playdate. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Esperanza. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t To do. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Paris, 1994. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Mother is someone who tells jokes. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Conversation. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Slow the heart. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Do something. 700 12 $i Container of (work): $a Walbert, Kate, $d 1961- $t Radical feminists. 941 $a 7 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909055100.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210428013934.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20200502012051.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20191205010400.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20191113010431.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20191024010547.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191018010201.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=97F3D58CF16C11E99671E53E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
