Description: "Joy Williams's landscapes reach from Maine and Nantucket to the Southwest and into Mexico and Guatemala, while the events cover a range of human travail, from children confronting the death of a parent to parents instead burying their own young, and the various ways - comic, tragic, unnerving - we seek to accommodate diminishment and loss."--BOOK JACKET.
