Description
Roger has gone back to school. Georgia has been feeding the bill drawer with unopened envelopes for months. The Pomeroys, a church-going family in a too-red Texas house, are digging themselves into a hole. In an attempt to climb out, Roger and Georgia make a series of choices that will have catastrophic consequences for their three children, especially Patsy, the youngest, who will spend most of her life fighting to overcome them. The war in Iraq, gender and class politics, and over-reliance on credit all play a part in this portrait of a family in financial free fall. But it is the fragile economy of family life that makes this novel timeless.
