From the New York Times best-selling author of Leave the World Behind comes an evocative short story about love, self-perception, and a family in transition. Alice Comstock has always been a dutiful wife and an attentive mother, a perfectionist presiding over a flawless home. She's reliably been her family's center, the caretaker and problem-solver, until an illness requires her children to assume responsibility for their mother. For Adam, Alice's youngest, a return home to California sparks a memory of his younger self. Alternating between the present and flashbacks to Adam's college years, "There Are Flowers in Ohio" explores how the paths not taken shape all of our lives.
