- Social life and customs, United States in fiction, Fiction, Manners and customs
"These stories trace the heart's hairline fractures, the small indignities that foreshadow tectonic shifts. A fifteen-year-old girl in the grips of an eating disorder, the new wife of a weapons engineer, a widow who signs up for a figure drawing class - the diverse characters who populate Tinsley's world crave safety and connection only to be faced with "the truth of forever and alone."".
