About this item
"Rebecca Kauffman writes like a sunbeam, strong and warm on whatever lands in her path. This book only looks short - in reality, it reveals a family so richly drawn, so deep and complex, that it contains the whole world." --Emma Straub. A modern and classic story of family, I'll Come to You chronicles intersecting lives over the course of one year - 1995 - anchored by the anticipation and arrival of a child. With empathy, insight, and humor, Rebecca Kauffman explores overlapping narratives involving a couple whose struggle to become pregnant has both softened and hardened them, a woman whose husband of forty years has left her for reasons he's unwilling to share and the man who is now disastrously attempting to woo her, a couple in denial about a looming health crisis, and their son who is fumbling toward middle age and can't stop lying.
