- Synopsis
- Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by The Millions, Thrillist, LitHub, The Week, and more An evocative and engrossing collection of new stories and a novella about women experiencing life&’s challenges and beauty from the award-winning writer Megan Mayhew Bergman.A recently separated woman fills a huge terrarium with endangered flowers to establish a small world only she can control in an attempt to heal her broken heart. A competitive swimmer negotiates over which days she will fulfill her wifely duties, and which days she will keep for herself. A peach farmer wonders if her orchard will survive a drought. And generations of a family in South Carolina struggle with fidelity and their cruel past, some clinging to old ways and others painfully carving new paths. In these haunting stories, Megan Mayhew Bergman portrays women who wrestle with problematic inheritances: a modern glass house on a treacherous California cliff, a water-starved ranch, and an abandoned plantation on a river near Charleston. Bergman&’s provocative prose asks the questions: what are we leaving behind for our descendants to hold, and what price will they pay for our mistakes?
