Description
PEN-Faulkner Award-winning author T. Coraghessan Boyle weaves together the stories of two families in Southern California - one affluent, the other destitute. As Boyle creates a counterpoint of personal needs, civic responsibility, and social custom, each family's quest for the American Dream fuels a deep fear and anger that ultimately lead to a perilous confrontation.
