It’s not easy to stay balanced. Not with two precocious sisters, a pothead brother, a depressed but steel-willed mother, an infirm grandmother, and an idler dad who’s vanished with his appallingly stupid mistress. Now, with dark humor, deadpan resilience, and a quiet sense of the surreal, Smitty recounts a remarkable chain of events that will make this the most transcendent year of her young life.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHere They Come\u003c\/i\u003e, the PEN New England Award–winning Yannick Murphy “flawlessly captures a child’s-eye view of a battered society and a battered family” (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times)\u003c\/i\u003e, “creating a world as magical and harrowing as the struggle to come to grips with maturity” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review).","brand":"Grove\/Atlantic, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133747937520,"sku":"9781555848330","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555848330_p0.jpg?v=1763756025","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555848330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
