商品簡介
"A profound story of how one unforeseen event may tear a family apart, but another can just as unexpectedly bring them back together again."Publishers Weeklyon Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night
All Waiting Is Long opens in 1926, twelve years after the close of Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night, and continues the story of the Morgan sisters, a study in contrasts. Twenty-five-year-old Violet accompanies her sixteen-year-old sister Lily to the Good Shepherd Infant Asylum, so Lily can deliver her illegitimate child in secret. Mother Mary Joseph, who runs the Good Shepherd, has no idea that the asylum's physician, Dr. Peters, is involved in the eugenics movement and is experimenting on the girls with various sterilization techniques. A month later, Dr. Peters sterilizes Lily after delivering her baby girl.
As the eugenics movement gains momentum in America, Dr. Peters becomes a minor celebrity. After one of his speeches in Scranton, Lily follows him to his hotel with pistol in tow. A violent incident ensues, though not at Lily's hand, and in the end, Lily and Violet both risk losing their husbands, their children, and each other to do what they think is right.

She has an MFA in creative writing from Wilkes University and teaches English in the Pocono Mountain School District.All Waiting Is Long is the sequel to her debut novel, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night, named a "Best Book of Summer 2014" byPublishers Weekly.
