Notes
Description
"These stories...wrestle with the concept of motherhood and the way the experience informs and impacts concepts of identity, racism, class, love, and even abuse. 'Watergate Sue,'...[spans] two generations of mothers/daughters, Eve’s obsession with Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal throughout 1973 heightens her self-doubt about whether she wants to raise more children (resonantly mirroring the anxiety many of us had while doom scrolling our way through the Trump administration). Some 30 years later, her daughter, Sue, is now grown and beginning her own family and attempting to reconcile her mother’s experience with her own. 'Cats in Service' is a contemporary fable about how a death in the family leads a young couple to adopt several cats who have been expertly trained to tend to their every need. 'The Egg Room' profiles middle-aged Florence, caught between dreams of how her life might have unfolded and the shrunken reality. 'The Golden Lasso' turns the focus to adolescence, using rock climbing as a set piece for a story about innocence lost, while 'Korin Voss' chronicles a few months in the life of a single mother in the late 1940s." --publisher's website.
