Two Romances

Kirkus Reviews writes: "Two richly textured, captivating tales of inappropriate romance. Young's luminous stories probe deep issues of how families work, who belongs to them, and what boundaries define them." Joseph and Mary: A Family Romance is set in Phoenix in 1978 and Rec Park: A Small-Town Romance in a coastal community outside of Los Angeles in the early years of the twenty-first century. These two short novels are by the author of the highly praised Blue and Other Stories.
