Somewhere in Philadelphia, Elliot has returned from Iraq and is struggling
to find his place in the world.  Somewhere in a chat room, recovering
addicts keep each other alive, hour by hour, day by day.  The boundaries of
family and community are stretched across continents and cyberspace as
birth families splinter and online families collide.  ‘Water by the
Spoonful’ is a heartfelt meditation on lives on the brink of redemption.


Quiara Alegría Hudes is perhaps best-known for writing the book for the
musical ‘In the Heights’.  She won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for ‘Water by
the Spoonful.’
