Women's Fiction
Marjorie Moore always wants more—and as a result, often
feels she ends up with less. Forever searching
elsewhere,
she is consumed with wanting, or in her opinion,
needing.
Feeling trapped by her town and her family, she escapes
through shopping, pill popping, and fantasizing about a
possible affair with a friend from high school. Her
growing
credit card debt “forces” her to sell prescription
drugs—which she secures at her receptionist job at the
local
hospital—to her dysfunctional friends. As her web of
lies at
home and work unravels, Margie struggles to become
present
in her own life. Astute and provocative, Grotheim’s prose captures many
of
life’s dichotomies—duplicity versus authenticity,
recklessness versus stability, and searching versus
finding—in this moving debut novel.
