This Life She's Chosen — Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum

"An impressive debut" by "a promising young writer" (The New York Times Book Review), this intimate collection of stories illuminates the pivotal moments in family life, particularly between mothers and daughters. The "still and hauntingly ambiguous" (Boston Globe) stories are "written with an admirable restraint that throws into sharper relief the emotional turmoil of the characters" (Tacoma News Tribune). This Life She's Chosen is a powerful and finely tuned fiction that continues to resonate.
