Description
Losing Camille is grounded in the American Midwest, but the characters who inhabit its ten stories are on the move-from youth to independence, safety to adventure, familiar reassurance to dangerous possibility. Young or old, they are discovering the world: A young girl watches with bewilderment as her older sister tumbles out of love. A grandfather who once pitched to Babe Ruth believes an accident has given him a glimpse of his own afterlife. A class valedictorian marries on the day of his high school prom. The stories of Losing Camille, in their exuberance and sorrow, mark the points of departure in our lives.
