Acclaimed author <i>Amanda Eyre Ward</i> has written a stunning collection of twelve stories about love in all its complexity, absurdity, and glory. From San Francisco to Savannah, Texas to Montana, <i>Amanda Eyre Ward’s</i> characters are united in their fervent search for a place where they truly belong. In a Maine cabin, a family tragedy forces Bill and Lizzy to take a hard look at their own lives. Casey, a suburban New Yorker with a wry sense of humor, braves the dating scene after losing her husband. Annie, a librarian in a small mining town, must choose between the only home she’s ever known and the possibility of a new life. And in six linked stories spanning a decade of her life, Lola Wilkerson navigates elopement, motherhood, and lingering questions about who she wants to be when she grows up. With writing as evocative as it is striking, <i>Amanda Eyre Ward</i> once again proves herself an astute interpreter of emotions both familiar and strange. Whether exploring the fierceness of a mother’s love or the consolations of marriage, these stories are imbued with humor, clear-eyed insight, and emotional richness. 6323424 21 4 2009 Love Stories in This Town total:124|5:24|4:38|3:39|2:19|1:4| 124 431 287 39 5 0 false false Wed May 20 11:02:27 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 21:57:33 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 11:02:27 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Oct 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 23:38:55 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 13:14:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 20:08:49 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 18:57:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 19 04:10:53 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 11:08:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Sep 16 10:24:46 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 10:28:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 21:18:11 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 21:19:17 -0700 2009 The story "The Way the Sky Changed" made me hold my breath at the end of each page because it was just that go...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Apr 23 06:55:36 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 06:55:36 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Thu May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 08:11:54 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 11:27:55 -0700 2009
