Review "Rich with historical detail, Coming Apart is a poignant and personal tale of two courageous sisters surviving the Great Depression--one strong-willed, proud, and determined to keep her family together despite the brutal realities of life in a coal mining town, and the other poised and quietly strong, holding her heartache close while striving to find her place among Philadelphias privileged upper class. Heenans sisters captivate and inspire in this story of sacrificial love, resilience, and hope." --Paulette Kennedy, author of Parting the Veil and The Witch of Tin Mountain "A touching story of one familys struggle during the Great Depression--not only for survival, but for connection and meaning in the midst of a dark time. Karen Heenan has an instinct for tender connection between her characters and a great understanding of human nature."--Olivia Hawker, author of The Ragged Edge of Night and One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow Details ISBN1957081090 Author Karen Heenan Short Title Coming Apart Publisher Karen Heenan Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 1957081090 ISBN-13 9781957081090 Format Paperback Publication Date 2022-10-18 Subtitle A Novel of the Great Depression Pages 400 Imprint Karen Heenan Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
