Welcome Home by Lucia Berlin

A luminous, candid collection of linked vignettes that traces a peripatetic life of domestic chaos, workaday survival, motherhood and addiction, rendered in spare, sharp prose that mixes wry humor with deep compassion; intimate, often funny scenes of hospitals, shabby apartments and transient jobs accumulate into a portrait of resilience, the messy tenderness of family and the small, stubborn salvations offered by language and memory.
