In a riveting collection, Brooks writes vivid, convincing portraits of teenagers in the throes of first love, facing the death of a beloved old dog, muddling through and then achieving miracles in single-parent families, and much more. Enticing and revelatory, each story opens with a remarkably rounded cast of characters, poised around a pivotal moment and then released to behave in hapless, human ways through the denouement.
