In Sari Rosenblatt 's collection, by turns tender and hilarious, we see fathers who are bullies and nervous watchdogs, haunted by their own pasts and fear of the future they may never see.
And who do their daughters become? A substitute teacher who encounters mouthy students who believe she's not real.
Another lands a job on her city's arson squad, researching derelict properties their owners might want to burn.
A beleaguered mother, humiliated by the PTA's queen bee, finds so.
