The great American everything
(Book)

"A short story collection exploring the bounds of contemporary family and how we move forward in a world so often changed by loss....[T]hese ten stories cut into the ways families approach questions of aging, adoption, loss, and class. A young woman hired to provide accompaniment services to an elder confronts the borders of complicity and friendship; two brothers search for details of their recently deceased grandfather in the desert; a college student faces her friend’s abuser during a door-to-door fundraising campaign." --publishers' website
