Stretching from the early 1970s in the Iowa farmlands to suburban Chicago and across the map of contemporary America, The Year We Left Home follows the Erickson siblings as they confront prosperity and heartbreak, setbacks and triumphs, and seek their place in a country whose only constant seems to be breathtaking change. Ambitious and richly told, this is a vivid and moving meditation on our continual pursuit of happiness and an incisive exploration of the national character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the short story collections \u003ci\u003eDo Not Deny Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThrow Like a Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eWho Do You Love\u003c\/i\u003e, a 1999 National Book Award finalist for fiction, and the novels \u003ci\u003eCity Boy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWide Blue Yonder\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Notable Book and \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e Best Fiction selection.
