The twelve stories in Nancy Welch s debut collection describe a post-1970s industrial blue collar landscape in which families face joblessness, transience, and an increasingly tenuous foothold on the lower rungs of the middle class. The daughters and sons, fathers and wives in these stories set in small-town Ohio are bounced out of the American dream by layoffs, shutdowns, and the uncertainty of steady work and steadfast love."
