Book Description
Here is an introspective, poignant portrait of an American family during a time of sweeping changes. Now nearly sixty years after it first appeared, Suckow's finest work still displays a thorough realism in its characters' actions and aspirations; the uneasy compromises they are forced to make still ring true. Suckow's talent for retrospective analysis comes to life as she examines her own people—Iowans, descendants of early settlers—through the lives of the Ferguson family, living in the fictional small town of Belmond, Iowa. Using her gift of creating three-dimensional, living characters, Suckow focuses on personal differences within the family and each member's separate struggle to make sense of past and present, to confront a pervasive sense of loss as a way of life disappears.

Book Description
Andy Sayer is a new man. His external scars, left over from being badly burned as a child, are gone, and he has fallen in love. But he still lives with the Bollinger family, and Matthew Bollinger keeps a close eye on what Andy does with his life—and on who he loves. While Andy's outer scars have been surgically removed, his internal scars never heal. And Andy's hunger for revenge has receded over the last five years, but it is about to return in a big way.
