Notes
Description
"In twelve stories, Good Women follows the lives of Black women through Appalachia and the Deep South, examining what forces shape their realities and what force they carry with them. A darkly funny and deeply human collection, Hill observes how place, blood-ties, generational trauma, desperation, obsessions, and boundaries (or lack thereof) all influence how people navigate their worlds-in the most intimate and most coincidental of relationships. A woman on the Greyhound bus barreling toward a Florida retirement community prepares to lie to her online boyfriend's mother; a teenager joins Weight Watchers at church as her father's illness overwhelms their home; a young woman working at the state fair considers revenge against a man who's harmed her mother. As these women wrestle with what they need, with what they want, Hill captures what's mundane in moments of absurdity and what isn't in painfully ordinary moments, and how any moment could be life changing"--,Provided by publisher.
