(2) 4-6 Family Tree series. In short vignettes, we follow Abby through her childhood in small-town Maine to 1940 when, at eighteen, she leaves home. We start to fill in the strands of the story: a controlling father; a mother prone to depression; the accidental death of a best friend. The approach here is plain, but the story has that addictive quality of the multigenerational family saga.
