The characters inhabiting Susan Buttenwieser's debut story collection We Were Lucky with the Rain stand at the margin of society, often perched on the knife's edge of economic disaster. Her characters cope with emotional and physical isolation as they try to build, keep, or renew family structures. An older brother drops out of college and tries to keep his youngest sister from ending up like the rest of the family. A father shields his daughters from their mother's erratic behavior, while his daughters struggle to understand their anxiety and anger. An uncle copes with his helplessness to protect his nephew. No quick fixes, no miracle cures await the people within these stories. This is fiction devoted to realism. And Buttenwieser's compassionate narrators refuses to look away during their most vulnerable trials. A remarkable debut collection.
