The News from the End of the World
by Emily Jeanne Miller - Fiction

When Vance Lake --- broke, jobless and recently dumped --- takes refuge with twin brother Craig back home on Cape Cod, he unwittingly finds himself smack in the middle of a crisis that would test the bonds of even the most cohesive family, let alone the Lakes. Craig is strangely mournful and angry at equal turns. His exasperated wife, Gina, is on the brink of an affair. At the center of it all is 17-year-old Amanda: adored niece, rebellious daughter and stubborn stepdaughter. She’s also pregnant. Told in alternating points of view by each member of this colorful New England clan, THE NEWS AT THE END OF THE WORLD follows one family into a crucible of pent-up resentments, old and new secrets, and memories long buried.
