Her mother Katherine, who rigidly controls family communications, has avoided contact with her older daughter for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the family crisis deepen, Katherine is declared a vulnerable adult and removed from the home. Rachel's father, Art, increasingly leans on Rachel to make the transition work. But Rachel's brother and sister, two alcoholic narcissists, fight to bring their mother home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRachel, a psychologist and author of self-help books for families, has the respect of her father and the medical community, but is resented by her mother and siblings. As Katherine slowly slides into dementia and failing health, Art renews his relationship with the daughter his tyrannical wife had banished from their home years ago, causing a family rift with tragic consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith characters as rich as those in stories by Anita Shreve, Pat Conroy or Sue Miller, The High Cost of Flowers is an American story as classic as suburbs, working parents, and multi-generational confrontation. The characters are people who readers will recognize in their neighborhoods, their kids' schools and their own families. The hardest part of living is watching Katherine die.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5131528\"\u003eCynthia Kraack\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calumet Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959770763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1959770764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC045000\"\u003eFamily Life | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC044000\"\u003eWomen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Calumet Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44455422918893,"sku":"9781959770763","price":25.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e70a0539-b59d-48ed-b0f4-f4b1165607f7.jpg?v=1700386829","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-high-cost-of-flowers-9781959770763","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
