  <description><![CDATA[In her highly acclaimed debut novel, the bestselling author of <em>Shelter</em> 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 &quot;among the wisest of a generation to grapple with a war that maimed us all&quot; (<em>The Village Voice</em>), by a master of contemporary fiction.]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book traces the lives of a West Virginia family from before WWII until 1970.  It is beautifully written and made me cry in one place.  The book is written from four perspectives but there is nothing I would call a plot -- just thoughts and feelings about life from four family members.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In her highly acclaimed debut novel, the bestselling author of <em>Shelter</em> 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 &quot;among the wisest of a generation to grapple with a war that maimed us all&quot; (<em>The Village Voice</em>), by a master of contemporary fiction.]]>

    <![CDATA[In her highly acclaimed debut novel, the bestselling author of <em>Shelter</em> 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.
