About
Erin McGraw's wry but poignant new collection of short stories brims with priceless insights and fresh descriptions. The Good Life features characters battling daily demons of envy, fear, and disillusionment while somehow maintaining an abiding optimism. Here are characters trying to weather the confounding people of the world--the chronically successful, the lucky in love, the athletically gifted--characters clinging to their cynicism while admitting that real hope and passion demand a suspension of skepticism. Erin McGraw writes with charm and sweet irony, and her new collection is impossible to put down.

"I love these stories about nice normal people trying-and failing-to cling to their fondest delusions."
Molly Giles
"McGraw ably leavens heartbreak with humor . . . she renders quirky, refreshingly real characters.... McGraw's pitch-perfect dialogue and artful closeups on the telling, trying details of ordinary lives deliver stories that are easy to read but hard to forget."
