In her much-anticipated fourth novel Beverly Gologorsky takes a close, loving look at the members of a working-class family in the Bronx, each in their own way struggling for a better world. At the heart of the story is Josie, a young woman whose fraught relationship with her family is further stretched by her commitment to anti-Vietnam War activities and her deepening relationship with a rising star in the Black Panther Party. Her brother Johnny is a police officer, rough and judgmental. Closest in age to Josie is sweet Richie, who, inexplicably to her, has just become an enlisted soldier. Her sister Celia is pulled toward activism in the women's fight for equality, but paralyzed by fear for her eldest son who may or may not have blown up an enlistment center. Their lives intertwine through acts of violence, loyalty, and, above all, the bonds of family love and loss. One thing is certain--that in the long run of life, change is inevitable.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBEVERLY GOLOGORSKY\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the acclaimed novel \u003ci\u003eThe Things We Do to Make It Home\u003c\/i\u003e, which was named a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book, a \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Fiction book, and a finalist for the Barnes and Noble Discover Great Writers Award.
