520    "Acerbic and ruefully funny, [this book] weaves tales of 
       young women-- deeply flawed and intensely real-- who 
       struggle to get out of their own way. They love to drink 
       and have sex; they make bad decisions with men who either 
       love them too much or too little; and they haunt a 
       Southern terrain of gas stations, public pools, and dive 
       bars. Though each character shoulders the weight of her 
       own baggage-- whether it's a string of horrible exes, a 
       boyfriend with an annoying child, or an inability to be 
       genuinely happy for a best friend-- they are united in 
       their unrelenting suspicion that they deserve better. 
       These women seek understanding in the most unlikely places
       : a dilapidated foster home where love is a liability in 
       "Big Bad Love," a trailer park littered with a string of 
       bad decisions in "Uphill," and the unfamiliar corners of a
       dream home purchased with the winnings of a bitter divorce
       settlement in "Charts." Taking a microscope to delicate 
       patterns of love and intimacy, Miller evokes the reticent 
       love among the misunderstood, the gritty comfort in bad 
       habits that can't be broken, and the beat-by-beat minutiae
       of fated relationships."--Amazon.com
