Description: An indelible collection of eight stories that mine the complexities of familial relationships and the surprising ways love manifests itself in our lives. In Alone with you, we emphasize as her brilliantly etched characters--a VA hospital nurse's aide numbed by her surroundings, a distant father saddled with care of his developmentally-challenged daughter following the death of his wife, a woman accompanying her mother, dying of cancer, to an alternative medicine clinic in Germany--struggle to deal with life's abrupt and painful changes.
