“New York Times Book Review's Ten Best Books of the Year—a “darkly funny and urgent” tour de force about a family, and a nation, in crisis Lizzie Benson slid into her job as a librarian without a traditional degree. But this gives her a vantage point from which to practice her other calling: she is a fake shrink.”
You can tell a lot from a book by reading the epigraph in the beginning. This book said:
“NOTES FROM A TOWN MEETING IN MILFORD, CONNECTICUT, 1640: Voted, that the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; voted, that the earth is given to the Saints; voted, that we are the Saints.”
In other words, we are in the shepherds of the earth and, apparently, we are not doing such a good job.
