Book Description
"The year is 1940, and Rhoda Taber is pregnant with her first child. The daughter of immigrants, she is well satisfied with the comforts of the suburbs and her reliable husband - but an untimely death, an unexpected illness, and bitter discord at home unravel her expectations. What begins as a cozy family novel becomes an unsettling chronicle, shattering and majestic in its effects, without ever losing its wry touches of humor."--BOOK JACKET.
