Description:
A new, genre-defying volume that explores family, marriage, motherhood, place, and coming of age with singular wit and emotional clarity.
What can we learn from an ordinary life observed with extraordinary skill?

Interspersed between these longer memoirs are sections of flash nonfiction, a form Fennelly innovated in…
