Mothers, Tell Your Daughters: Stories

"Bonnie Jo Campbell tells stories of the Rust Belt with frankness and an infinite patience for the voices of those whose stories are often left untold. These are contemporary mothers and daughters stretched beyond human capabilities, each desperate to be heard, but despairing of an audience; Campbell rescues them from invisibility. The stories here are filled with shifts when a turn of fate, a moment in nature, brings surprises and revealing insights. And within the turmoil and the troubles, the demands and the limits of life, Campbell reminds us, there are possibilities for moments of grace."
