Ten More Things about Us - Paperback

by Nancy Welch (Author)

The Spring 2022 Black River Chapbook Competition winner by Nancy Welch.

"There's no such thing as society," Margaret Thatcher famously--and cruelly--proclaimed. "There are individual men and women and there are families." Through three stories in TEN MORE THINGS ABOUT US, Nancy Welch illuminates the consequences of this philosophy-writ-policy in the very particular lives of women who labor to care for family as devastating illness frays familial ties and tests social consciousness.
