Elizabeth and her husband marry, organize protests, and try to rear two children with their hippie values. By 1985, things have changed: Suzanne, now with an MBA, calls Sparrow \"Susan.\" Claudia spirals backward into her sixties world--and madness. And Elizabeth, fatally ill, watches despairingly as her children yearn for a split-level house and a gleaming station wagon. \u003cem\u003eSomewhere Off the Coast of Maine\u003c\/em\u003e is Ann Hood's stunning debut novel about the choices we make when we are young, and the changes brought about by the passing of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHood, Ann:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eAnn Hood\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of the best-selling novels \u003cem\u003eThe Book That Matters Most, The Red Thread\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Knitting Circle\u003c\/em\u003e.
