A thought-provoking collection of personal essays about home
What makes a home? What do equality, safety, and politics have to do with it? And why is it so important to us to feel like we belong? In this collection, 30 women writers explore the theme in personal essays about neighbors, marriage, kids, sentimental objects, homelessness, domestic violence, solitude, immigration, gentrification, geography, and more. Contributors including Amanda Petrusich, Naomi Jackson, Jane Wong, and Jennifer Finney Boylan lend a diverse range of voices to this subject that remains at the core of our national conversations. Engaging, insightful, and full of hope,
This is the Place
will make you laugh, cry, and think hard about home, wherever you may find it.
"This collection, encompassing a spectrum of races, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, political beliefs and classes, could not be timelier . . . open this book, hear its chorus of voices and remember that we are a nation of individuals, bound to each other by our humanity."
The New York Times Book Review
" . . . an honest portrait of the U.S., pieced together like an imperfect American quilt. We need more books like this." BUST
