angela_amman's review against another edition
5.0
Told over the course of almost 40 years, readers watch the lives of Alice and Mike unfold, two hurt children who become hurt adults. Alice witnesses a tragic accident as a child, an accident that imprints onto her life and follows her as she makes both inconsequential and monumental choices that change the trajectory of her life and the lives around her.
Set mainly in southeast Michigan, Fordon takes the reader between opulent neighborhoods and dangerous ones. Each story she tells explores the ways wealth and privilege — or the lack of those things — affect the options we have and the fallout from the decisions we make.
