San Francisco: Mercury House, 1993. dj. Hardcover first edition - Author's second novel - the first was published under the name of "Eric Gabriel." From PW "Lehman's raw, unsparing novel portrays an upstate New York family torn apart by political, emotional and sexual conflict in the early 1970s. . . With the same gritty realism that informed his first novel, Waterboys (published under the pen name Eric Gabriel), Lehman depicts troubled people oscillating between explosive anger and attempts to heal."
