Short stories about the universal need to be loved, from ?a quietly gorgeous writer? (The New York Times Book Review). In ?Pelican Song,? a thirty-year-old modern dancer who moonlights as a movie ticket taker visits her parent?s picturesque home to discover that her stepfather has begun mistreating her too-accommodating mother. ?Horse? follows maladjusted honeymooners in Atlantic City whose romantic weekend is saved from emotional catastrophe. A holiday in New York City turns from shopping sprees to a young girl?s sharp discovery of her father?s secret life in ?Rome.? With an elegant blend of humor and pathos, Mary-Beth Hughes captures the turning points in relationships that make us wonder how well we really know those we love. Double Happiness is a revealing meditation on the fragility of contentment and the lengths we must go to in order to sustain it, and ?[an] intensely moving collection? (Publishers Weekly, starred review). ?Excellent.? ?The New Yorker
