If Morning Ever Comes

Back home in North Carolina, Ben Joe Hawkes was admittedly
a worrier, but he was also head of the household for his grandmother, his
mother, and his six sisters. In New York, as a law
student, he’s not quite sure what his role should be. So, when his eldest
sister returns home with her baby girl, Ben Joe decides
it’s time to figure himself out by doing what he does best. He heads home
to take care of his family. He’s prepared himself for every
possible outcome but one: What if the women he’s left behind don’t need
him as much as he needs them? Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Tyler wrote
this first novel at age twenty-two and perfectly
captures life on the precipice of adulthood.
