In this debut collection Susan Spalt examines the fabric of family life with an eye sometimes merry, sometimes melancholy, but always warm and loving. Her clear voice is close in our ear as she directs us past the externals into complex emotional interiors, ruminates on how life can turn "a crescent moon into a broken collar bone," or how "we danced slowly at our daughter's wedding as if it were our own." Reader, you will find yourself in these pages. We're all here. --Florence Nash
