Jessica Soffer | Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots
What makes a family? Where do we find our sustenance? These often-debated questions are examined with artful storytelling. All of our senses are called upon to consider the age-old issue of nature vs. nurture. Food, the legendary path to the heart, laden with history and culture, is the medium. With a very needy cast of characters, the recipe for a good tale is perfected. Jessica Soffer's writings have appeared in many prestigious publications and on NPR's Selected Shorts. She teaches fiction at Connecticut College. "This first novelis a work of beauty in words." New York Journal of Books
