In While I'm Falling, Laura Moriarty presents a compelling
depiction of how one young woman's life changes when her family
breaks up for good. Ever since her parents announced that they're
getting divorced, Veronica has been falling. Hard. A junior in
college, she has fallen in love. She has fallen behind in her
difficult coursework. She hates her job as counselor at the dorm,
and she longs for the home that no longer exists. When an attempt
to escape the pressure, combined with bad luck, lands her in a
terrifying situation, a shaken Veronica calls her mother for
help--only to find her former foundation too preoccupied to offer
any assistance at all. But Veronica only gets to feel hurt for so
long. Her mother shows up at the dorm with a surprising
request--and with the elderly family dog in tow. Boyfriend
complications ensue, along with her father's sudden interest in
dating. Veronica soon finds herself with a new set of problems, and
new questions about love and independence. Darkly humorous,
beautifully written, and filled with crystalline observations about
how families fall apart, While I'm Falling takes a deep look at the
relationship between a daughter and a mother when one is trying to
grow up and the other is trying to stay afloat.
