(Book)

Includes a reader's guide.

Includes an excerpt from Digging to America by Anne Tyler.

"Pearl Tull is nearing the end of her life but not her memory. It was a Sunday night in 1944 when her husband left the little row house on Baltimore's Calvert Street, abandoning Pearl to raise their three children alone: Jenny, high-spirited and determined, nurturing to strangers but distant to those she loves; the oldest son, Cody, a wild and incorrigible youth possessed by the lure of power and money; and sweet and clumsy Ezra, Pearl's favorite, who never stops yearning for the "perfect" family that could never be his own." "Now grown, they have gathered together again - with anger, with hope, and with a beautiful, harsh, and dazzling story to tell."--Jacket.
