Here On Earth
Alice Hoffman
After nearly twenty years of living in California, March Murray, along
with her fifteen-year-old daughter, Gwen, returns to the small
Massachusetts town where she grew up to attend the funeral of Judith Dale,
the beloved housekeeper who raised her. Thrust into the world of her
past, March slowly realizes the complexity of the choices made by those
around her, including Mrs. Dale, who knew more of love that March could
have ever suspected; Alan, the brother whose tragic history has left him
grief-stricken, with alcohol has only solace; and Hollis, the boy she
loved, the man she can't seem to stay away from.
