Description

Set in Bakerton, Pennsylvania, the company town that was the setting of Jennifer Haigh's award-winning bestseller Baker Towers, News From Heaven explores how our roots, the families and places in which we are raised, shape the people we eventually become. Through a series of connected stories, Haigh brilliantly portrays teh close-knit community from its heyday during two world wars to its decline in the final years of the 20th century.

Reviews

"Haigh has a gift for creating believable characters of all kinds and placing them into realistic--often heartbreaking--situations. A must read for fans of "Baker Towers" and a good addition to all short-story collections."--Booklist
