Set in post-World War II Trenton, New Jersey, the narrative follows a woman who murders her veteran husband and adopts his identity to build a new life. As Abe Kunstler, she secures a job, a car, and a relationship, but yearns for a son to complete her transformation. By 1971, the prosperity of the past has faded, and the family she created begins to unravel under the weight of her deception. The story explores themes of identity, ambition, and the elusive nature of the American Dream, all conveyed through striking prose.
