The author of this book is a professor at Duke University, and the book is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award. The main character is a woman who abandoned her son when she was 17 and now wants to see him. It's a story of an ordinary woman in extraordinary circumstances, and is joyous, tragic, comic and compelling. It is beautifully written.
