All Adults Here

More about the book

After Astrid Strick witnesses a school bus accident, a repressed memory from decades years earlier makes her realize she was not quite the parent she thought she'd been. Youngest son Nicky is drifting and unfocused, making parenting mistakes of his own. Her daughter Porter is intentionally pregnant yet struggling to give up her own adolescence. And her eldest, Elliot, seems to measure his adult life according to standards no one else shares. Which long-ago lapses were the ones that mattered? Who decides which apologies really count? -- adapted from back cover
