Story3.5 out of 5 stars 8
Lizzie Benson slid into her job as a librarian without a traditional degree. But this gives her a vantage point from which to practise her other calling: as an unofficial shrink. For years, she has supported her God-haunted mother and her recovering addict brother. They have both stabilized for the moment, but then her old mentor, Sylvia Liller, makes a proposal. Sylvia has become famous for her prescient podcast, 'Hell and High Water', and wants to hire Lizzie to answer the mail she receives: from left-wingers worried about climate change and right wingers worried about the decline of western civilization.

A Stream of Consciousness
Reviewed: 01-21-21
There's barely any plot to this book. It's more like a stream of neurotic thoughts with the occasional piece of historical or geographical trivia thrown in.
Cassandra Campbell reads it in a calm and dreamy way. It was hard to stay engaged, or to care.
Not very satisfying.
