Description: "As a storm approaches, Evelyn is trying to assure the safety of her teenage daughter, Candi, whose unidentified illness had immobilized her. Caring for Candi has forced Evelyn to quit her job as a subway conductor; still, she helps support both her philandering father and her brother, who has returned to New York from Afghanistan and suffers from PTSD. Just behind the grace and humor with which Evelyn manages to hold together her own life and those of the people who depend on her is the constant threat of both natural and man-made disasters"--Page [4] of cover.
