Alternate Endings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990306955)

A loving woman squeezed in the sandwich generation between her elderly mother and her young adult son must choose between them. Each has needs that only she can fulfill, but she faces having to sacrifice herself again, as she has done her whole life. Who will win? And why is it that a woman can never claim a turn for herself - just herself - without feeling "selfish"?

Based on Greek mythology, this is a story about Calyce Tate, a middle-aged English teacher at a wealthy private high school. Her leeching son refuses to launch, while her frail mother deteriorates. The story speaks to all of us of a certain age, but its ending will shock you.
