254 pages ; 22 cm "Anything Is Possible explores the whole range of human emotion through the intimate dramas of people struggling to understand themselves and others. Here are two sisters: One trades self-respect for a wealthy husband while the other finds in the pages of a book a kindred spirit who changes her life. The janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help; a grown daughter longs for mother love even as she comes to accept her mother's happiness in a foreign country; and the adult Lucy Barton (the heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton, the author's celebrated New York Times bestseller) returns to visit her siblings after seventeen years of absence. Reverberating with the deep bonds of family, and the hope that comes with reconciliation, Anything Is Possible again underscores Elizabeth Strout's place as one of America's most respected and cherished authors"--Amazon.com The Sign -- Windmills -- Cracked -- The hit-thumb theory -- Mississippi Mary -- Sister -- Dottie's bed & breakfast -- Snow-blind -- Gift Elizabeth Strout Mothers and daughters Fiction Brothers and sisters Fiction Families Fiction Authors, American Maine Families Brothers and sisters Mothers and daughters Brothers and Sisters Fiction Mothers and Daughters Fiction Brothers and sisters Fiction 813/.54 9780812989403 0812989406 2016020620 160527 20190501235421.0 951563256
