Product Description:

Susan Kenney has created a distinguished novel.... She possesses the kind of certainty that leaves readers feeling lucky. Anne Tyler, The New York Times Book Review Sara Boyd has been shaped by crises, by illnesses and deaths that wrench her from familiar domestic landscapes into another country. In these six interlocking stories, Sara recalls the devastating death of her father when she was twelve; her mother s frightening recurrent bouts with madness; and the protracted illness that now threatens to take her husband. Moving through her own life as daughter, wife, and mother Sara learns to discard illusions and finds, instead, an extraordinary determination to love, forgive. and hope. In Another Country is old-fashioned in the best sense: well made, honest, intelligent, and true. The Wall Street Journal When the book is put down one knows one has shared a tragedy, but one is left with admiration, not despair. Anne Morrow Lindbergh Altogether a beautiful book (Christian Science Monitor
