Blindsided by her mother’s sudden death and wrecked by a recent love affair, Casey Peabody has arrived in Massachusetts in the summer of 1997 without a plan. Her mail consists of wedding invitations and final notices from debt collectors. A former child golf prodigy, she now waits tables in Harvard Square and rents a tiny, moldy room at the side of a garage where she works on the novel she has been writing for six years. At 31, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life.

Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
Ever since her troubled mother abandoned her, Trix McCabe has preferred to stay on the move. But when she lands with her long-lost relatives, she finds out that the McCabe women have talents like her own that defy explanation: pies that cure all ills, palm-reading that never misses the mark, knowledge of secrets that have never been told. Before long, Trix feels like she might finally have found somewhere she belongs. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she’ll have to decide whether to take a chance on this new life...or keep running from the one she’s always known.

Lone Stars follows the arc of four generations of a Texan family in a changing America. Julian Warner, a father at last, wrestles with a question his husband posed: what will you tell our son about the people you came from, now that they're gone? Finding the answers takes Julian back in time to Eisenhower's immigration border raids, an epistolary love affair during the Vietnam War, crumbling marriages, queer migrations to Cambridge and New York, up to the disorienting polarization of Obama's second term.

Clare and Henry have known each other since Clare was six and Henry was 36. They were married when Clare was 23 and Henry was 31. Impossible but true, because Henry is one of the first people diagnosed with Chrono-Displacement Disorder: periodically his genetic clock resets and he finds himself misplaced in time, pulled to moments of emotional gravity from his life, past and future. His disappearances are spontaneous, his experiences unpredictable, alternately harrowing and amusing.

In an idyllic Los Angeles neighborhood, where generations enjoy deep roots in old homes, the O’Rourke family fits right in. Miriam and Craig are both artists and their four children carry on the legacy. When their teenage son, Nick, is diagnosed with schizophrenia, a tumultuous decade ensues in which the family careens off the conventional course. Like the 10 Biblical plagues, they are hit by one catastrophe after another: violence, evictions, arrests, a suicide attempt, a near-drowning - even cancer and a brain tumor - play against the backdrop of a wild teenage bacchanal.

A story of love, substance abuse, neglect and growing up
This story is following Cinnamon Monday in her growing up and her search for love. And love in this case doesn’t just mean romantic love, but genuine connections and acceptance, family.
The listener/reader is taken through different times of Cinnamon’s life - the jumps can be a little confusing at first, but it eventually comes together contextually. Cinnamon’s attempts of finding love do not work out the wholesome way - she stumbles, falls a lot, meets rejection etc. - and even if some of it is of her own making we cannot help but feel and root for her.
The narration is lovely. Going through these motions is not pretty, and the narrator portrays Cinnamon’s mindset quite well. The narration is easy to follow and dive into the story with :)

Best book so far this year!
Absolutely incredible. The best book I’ve read so far this year.
I could relate to Cinnamon in some ways. I was never a drug addict but I had a pretty crazy childhood as well. The struggles she had and the power and determination it took for her to overcome everything was remarkable. The people she encountered. Sam, Eduardo and connecting with her cousin. I felt so much of this in my bones. My heart ached for her. I usually have zero tolerance for drug addicts, (My mother was one) but I felt for Cinnamon, I loved her and I wanted only the best for her. I know these characters and this story will stay with me for a long time and I will definitely recommend it to others! I cried a few times and not always because the story was sad. There was so much hope as well!
Anna Caputo was an excellent narrator choice for this novel. Loved her!

Great storytelling
Written in the style of a memoir, this is a pretty believable and engrossing story of an unbelievably disfunctional family. It's very much a character-driven story performed quite well by Anna Caputo. It's great storytelling.
