  • "Charleen is a divorcée in her mid-thirties, eking out a living as a poet and part-time assistant for an obscure scientific journal. Although she is quick to count her blessings -- a son whom she loves, a blossoming relationship with a man, and friends who care about her -- Charleen wonders how her life turned out the way it did. Is she a failure? Or is she still struggling to escape the limited world of her childhood? When she returns home to attend her mother's wedding, Charleen is caught up in a series of unexpected -- and terrifying -- events."
  • "The story of a woman dancing on the edge of a difficult life Ever since her husband left her & mdash;seemingly vanishing into thin air & mdash;Charleen Forrest has supported herself and her fifteen-year-old son on what she earns as an obscure poet and part-time gofer for an even more obscure scientific journal. But when her estranged mother remarries, prompting an unplanned reunion, Charleen finds herself moving out of her familiar existence. A dazzling counterpoint to Shields & rsquo;s debut novel, Small Ceremonies, imbued with her scathing wit and dead-on observations, The Box Garden is an unforgettable portrait of a woman who finds transformation & mdash;and happiness & mdash;where she least expects it."@en
