Book summary

A professor who also writes novels returns home to care for his mother, a victim of Alzheimer's, after his sister is shot to death at the abortion clinic where she works. When his own new novel is rejected, and a patently phony novel about ghetto life by a middle-class woman is a huge success, he decides to write a parody of the book--to soothe his own indignation, if nothing else. Surprisingly, it becomes a best-seller. However, he is also in the midst not only of coping with his mother's illness but of finding out things about his family's history that loom as large in his life as his literary success, and force him to make choices that affect all concerned.
