Jessica Soffer | Tomorrow There Will Be Apricots
What makes a family? Where do we find our sustenance? These often-debated questions are examined with artful storytelling. All of our senses are called upon to consider the age-old issue of nature vs. nurture. Food, the legendary path to the heart, laden with history and culture, is the medium. With a very needy cast of characters, the recipe for a good tale is perfected. Jessica Soffer's writings have appeared in many prestigious publications and on NPR's Selected Shorts. She teaches fiction at Connecticut College. "This first novelis a work of beauty in words." New York Journal of Books

Nomi Eve is the author of The Family Orchard. She has an MFA in fiction writing from Brown University and is a freelance writer. "Engrossing, surprising, compelling " -Indira Ganesan, author of As Sweet as Honey
