In Harriet Scott Chessman's arresting first novel, Hallie Greaves comes home to Ohio one hot week in July. She hopes to help her mother, who confines her life wholly to her bedroom. To enter her mother's room, however, is to face her own disappointments and yearnings. At an impasse in her painting and her marriage, Hallie confronts questions of love, memory, and sorrow. Ohio Angels is a moving portrait of the intricacies of marriage and friendship, and of the surprising possibilities for compassion and renewal.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Harriet Scott Chessman is happy to announce her newest novel, The Lost Sketchbook of Edgar Degas, published by Outpost 19 in March 2017. She is the author of the earlier novels The Beauty of Ordinary Things, Someone Not Really Her Mother, Lydia Cassatt Reading the Morning Paper, and Ohio Angels. In addition, Harriet wrote the opera libretto for MY LAI, commissioned by the Kronos Performing Arts Association. Her fiction has been translated into eight languages, and featured in The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, NPR's All Things Considered, Good Morning America, The Christian Science Monitor, and more. She has taught English and creative writing at Yale University, Bread Loaf School of English, and Stanford University's Continuing Studies Program. After twelve years in the San Francisco Bay Area, she lives now in Connecticut.
Parents often try to shield their children from the demons that color their lives, but in many cases, it is only a temporary respite. Hallie Greaves recalls that her mother spent most of her life shut away in her bedroom. Now as she comes back to her childhood home, thinking she can help draw her mother out to a fuller life, she finds that her own concerns and fears of failure must be confronted as well. Norma Lang narrates in an even and introspective tone. Her quiet and steady examination of the corners of Hallie's past and present is appropriately low-key and well tempered.
