More than any other setting – more than battlefields or boardrooms or a spaceship headed for intergalactic travel – Ill put my money on the family to provide an endless source of comedy, tragedy and intrigue. – Joyce Maynard
At Home in the World is the story of a young woman, raised in some difficult circumstances, and how she survives. It tells a story of redemption, not victimhood. – Joyce Maynard
