Waiting for the Fall

The nineteen interconnected stories in this debut collection are about the Woodstock generation and the people, particularly the women, who came of age in the tumultuous 1960s. With wisdom and insight, Rose Ann Findlen examines social class, American landscapes and the hopes and fears of her characters through the decades. Their pleasure and pain, and above all their persistence in the face of loss and disillusionment, and their drive to love and to live fully regardless of what comes, will bring nostalgia and sometimes heartache to all baby boomers, and perhaps also to the children who seek to understand them better.
