She will be reading from her new novel, COST: a portrait of a family ravaged by drug addiction. Thinking she would spend the summer tending her mother, who is in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, and mending her relationship with her repressive father, Julia instead confronts her son’s heroin use. COST is a Spring 2008 "Good Reads" Pick of the National Book Critics Circle.
