Summary
Lucy's mother is dying, her alcoholic sister Anna is strangely detached from events, and Lucy (a museum curator) returns home to care for her mother. There in Florida, she finds herself reliving certain events in the life of her family-in particular, a freak accident that changed the family forever, and a midnight swim from long ago that seemed to promise that there was still hope. And then she discovers that someone she loved, who disappeared years ago, is still around.

Camilla's Roses
by Bernice L. McFadden

Naked Singularity
by Victoria Alexander
The Southern Belles Of Honeysuckle Way
by
Sisters Rebecca and Carleen, along with their daughters, head cross country for Blue Lick Springs, Kentucky, for a reunion with their sister Irene and their mother's seventy-fifth birthday, and find themselves dealing with ruthless real-estate developers out to destroy local landmarks, a devious insurance scheme, an attractive McDonalds' executive, and their feisty mother, Lila Mae.
Unless
by Carol Shields
I'm not interested, the way some people are, in being sad. I've had a look, and there's nothing down that road. Well now! What about the ripping sound behind my eyes, the starchy tearing of fabric, end to end; what about the need I have to curl up my knees when I sleep? For all of her life, 44 year old Reta Winters has enjoyed the useful monotony of happiness: a loving family, good friends, growing success as a writer of light 'summertime' fiction. But this placid existence is cracked wide open when her beloved eldest daughter, Norah, drops out to sit on a gritty street corner, silent but for the sign around her neck that reads 'GOODNESS.' Reta's search for what drove her daughter to such a desperate statement turns into an unflinching and surprisingly funny meditation on where we find meaning and hope. Warmth, passion and wisdom come together in Shields' remarkably supple prose. Unless, a harrowing but ultimately consoling story of one family's anguish and healing, proves her mastery of extraordinary fictions about ordinary life.
She Is Me
by Cathleen Schine
Greta finds her life and her home turned upside down by the arrival of her grown daughter, Elizabeth, and her son, who has arrived in town to write a screenplay, by the increasingly eccentric behavior of her widowed mother, and by unexpectedly falling in love with someone other than her devoted husband.
