Publisher Description

The New York Times bestselling author of The Rules of Magic is at her haunting, thought-provoking best with these interconnected stories about a Long Island family.

Alice Hoffman casts her spell over a neighborhood filled with dreamers and dreams as she evokes the world of the Samuelsons, a family torn apart by tragedy and bound together by devotion. As Gretel grows up, she is witness to the breakup of her parents' marriage, the ups and downs of her cousin Margot's search for love, the deterioration of a brother who passes up Harvard for a job at the Food Star, and emotional explosions that shatter the suburban quiet...

Local Girls

Lovely coming of age story about friendship and the bonds of mother and sisterhood. This book made me cry and smile. Left me nostalgic for my own past. Really moving, beautifully written story which rings true to life and above all hope. Should be on the public middle and high school reading lists. Thanks again for another beauty from Alice Hoffman!
