These nine stories and a novella show blue-collar characters struggling to achieve the American Dream - and sometimes alienating friends and family as they try to upgrade their working-class pedigree. Anne Panning's people, despite their mixed record of success, make us root for them on their sometimes heartbreaking journeys of entrepreneurship, love, and loss.
The warmth and originality of these pieces demonstrate Panning to be an astute and empathetic observer. - Publishers Weekly ""Panning's new collection radiates infectious optimism. Even when things aren't going well, her characters forge ahead, holding tight to their (mostly) modest goals... Her enchanting Norahs and Alices, Tobys and Theos drag you effortlessly into their very American lives."" - New York Times Book Review
