Description: Drawn against a Los Angeles landscape and crossing generations and borders, this debut collection of interrelated stories delves into the world of Andi Rowe -- a young woman of Mexican and Irish heritage -- to give an intimate account of one family's passage from the immigrant story to the American story and the cycle of loss, adaptation, and rediscovery that is innate to that experience.
