Blue Eyes Better
Preview: Hear it

Written with quiet intensity, this beautiful and spare novel examines what happens to Tessas family after her fifteenyearold brother is killed in a drunkdriving accident. Set adrift, Tessa is forced to find a way to keep going . . . even as her mother drifts further and further from her. Like Getting Near to Baby, this is an unstinting, compassionate, and deceptively plain story of a damaged family forging a way out of its grief.
