Forty-seven stories-from flash fiction to full-length works, deeply felt, autobiographical fiction-unfold across the decades from the 1960s to the present day and reveal a family's hopes and fears, truths and lies, and love. "With vivid, compact prose, the author Caroline Bock transports the reader to multiple generations of her Jewish-Italian-American family story and beyond. This collection is a tender, compassionate, and wise meditation on family, loss, and love." Winner of the Fiction Award from the Washington Writers' Publishing House.
