In her highly acclaimed debut novel, the bestselling author of
"Shelter" introduces the Hampsons, an ordinary, small-town American
family profoundly affected by the extraordinary events of history.
Here is a stunning chronicle that begins with the Depression and
ends with the Vietnam War, revealed in the thoughts, dreams, and
memories of each family member. Mitch struggles to earn a living as
Jeans becomes the main breadwinner, working to coplete college and
raise the family. While the couple fight to keep their marriage
intact, their daughter Danner and son Billy forge a sibling bond of
uncommon strength. When Billy goes off to Vietnam, Danner becomes
the sole bond linking her family, whose dissolution mirrors the
fractured state of America in the 1960s. Deeply felt and vividly
imagined, this lyrical novel is "among the wisest of a generation
to grapple with a war that maimed us all" ("The Village Voice"), by
a master of contemporary fiction.
