• The New York Times bestselling author's first collection of short fiction. Alice Hoffman is at her haunting, thought-provoking best with these interconnected stories about a Long Island family, the Samuelsons, and the lessons in survival and transformation that life brings to every family. "Pulls the reader in effortlessly...Hoffman has the power to make you really laugh and really cry." -- USA Today "Moving and deadpan funny...Epiphanies about passion, pain, and resiliency induce smiles and shivers in equal measure." -- Entertainment Weekly
