Hope and humor, courage and death, lies and despair all ride along in this bumper car collision of three generations in 1999 Cambridge, MA: Kalayla age 11, her mother Maureen age 29 and their neighbor, Lena age 72. The three have nothing in common except the challenge of dealing with the shocks, obstacles and opportunities that confront each of them. Kalayla: a feisty bi-racial loner whose world implodes when she discovers her mother and father belong in the Guinness Book of World Records as “The World’s Biggest Liars.” Maureen: an artist cocooned in her own projects, safe from the truth until her husband’s sudden death catapults her into life as a single mother raising the smart-mouthed daughter she doesn’t understand. Lena: their landlady, a financially successful and almost wise woman who wears only black and lives in a fourth-floor walk-up apartment deflecting specters from the past that haunts her. Anyone who has experienced the angularities, rigid pockets and soft spots of family life can take hope from reading Kalayla. It shows us that pathways for change do exist--and if we choose to--we can find them.
