Set in the fictional town of Fayton, North Carolina, this lyrical collection of short stories (including the novella The Ice Garden) revolves around the lives of its inhabitants and the relationships and events that shape their collective history. From a little girl's account of her mother's burgeoning mental illness, to the orphan who moves in with a troubled family, these simple and honest stories are as poignant as they are real. (Apr.)
