Just Don't Ask Us What We Do All Day

“Kelly Hill’s stories illuminate, with tenderness and unflinching honesty, both the placid surface of American family life and the undercurrents that rise up to disturb it. In her wise and clear-eyed collection, suburbia is a place of peril and wondrous possibility. As her characters navigate sisterhood, motherhood, and friendship, they must grapple with the unruly fears and desires that undermine those roles, sometimes irrevocably. Formally inventive, expertly crafted, and alive with a generous sense of humor, Just Don’t Ask Us What We Do All Day is storytelling at its best.”
