Bound to the bustling "big houses" of contemporary suburbia, the women in Kelcey Parker’s tales of twisted domesticity weave secrets, soccer balls, kisses, and dreams into the fabric of an evolving American subculture. Suburban sprawl transcends geography as children, husbands, and all things domestic overpopulate the interior landscapes of young divorcees, best-friends-forever, and tired mothers who give up their families—or won't—for legal struggles, Lent, or the comfort of scrapbooking. The smart, playful female characters navigate the common but seemingly lonely paths of modern parenthood and marriage in this modern collection of short stories.
