New York, NY: Scribners. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1995. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. First Edition (1995) ; First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: The Book shows a couple of tiny, very mild nudges to the bottom edge of the quarter-cloth boards; a touch of crimping to the heel of the backstrip; the binding is ever so slightly cocked off square but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Very close to "As New". The DJ shows the mildest rubbing to the rear panel and the faintest consequent soiling; a former bookseller's inventory sticker at the lower rear panel; the price is intact; mylar-protected. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo (8.65 x 5.85 x 1 inches). Language: English. Weight: 16.5 ounces. Hardback with DJ. Author's First Novel. This the story of a woman who tries to make sense of her own life after her mother dies of cancer. The emotional turmoil Jane experiences over her mother's illness and death doesn't ever go away entirely, and Schumacher describes how she navigates the turmoil while trying to remain balanced. As the book opens, Jane returns home to fill in many of the gaps regarding her mother's life. Not coincidentally, she is pregnant, and she needs the security and comfort that her father and her sister, Bee, can provide. She also needs the downstairs tenant, Bill Denzer, to help her search for the letters and diaries that her mother left behind. When a complication in her pregnancy nearly kills her, Bill saves her by rushing her to the hospital. Schumacher has published stories in anthologies and literary magazines. With enormous power and clarity, she here presents a thoroughly believable tale about love, loss, and difficult family relationships. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 262 pages .
