Author Description

"None of the Mabie family of Wichita, Kansas, could have imagined that the one son who exuded "the cosmetic loveliness of a saint" would kill his beloved grandmother in a drunk driving accident. But, after five years in prison, thirty-three-year-old Winston is returning to his childhood home and the family he left behind.". "Living to Tell is the deeply affecting story of a tight-knit clan in the tumultuous year of readjustment following Winston's homecoming. Through the Mabies' wrestling with pregnancy, broken hearts, obsession, redemption, mortality, and forgiveness, Antonya Nelson weaves a rich and true tapestry of family."--BOOK JACKET.
