| Abstract | Portrays a year in the life of a woman after the accidental death of her teenage son. Laura Lucas is numbed by theloss, a loss that is paralleled in the spate of upscale construction and attendant destruction in her starter home neighborhood. It's about Laura's relationship with a young tree surgeon who slowly becomes a replacement for her son but also an object of desire. The story reveals the delicate nexus where solace becomes sex; the role of men and women as unmarried friends; and examines grief in a marriage. It portrays the pain of change and the poignancy of acceptance through Laura's eyes, and occasionally, through the quirky outlook of her ten year old daughter. And before the story ends, another brutal, random accident will redefine Laura's life once again. |
