This collection of slice-of-life short stories paints a tableau of the people who inhabit a small, Midwestern town in the early 1950’s. Lena—an aspiring dancer; Phillip—a teen struggling with his sexual identity; Ursula—a grieving mother; Doris—a victim of debilitating depression; Lacey—a girl growing up on the wrong side of the tracks; and Rosie—adopted by a childless couple in her eighth year; all of these characters and more reveal the stories of their lives behind closed doors. As the inhabitants confront their crises, whether fleeting or existential, the reader is drawn into their struggles, and becomes invested in their deliverance.
