Suffering from a colossal case of \"family envy,\" Gurwitch began seeking out other forms of community. If she's learned anything, it's that no matter how hard you try to escape a crazy family, you just end up in another crazy family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using her own clan of hucksters and scam artists as inspiration, \u003ci\u003e Wherever You Go, There They Are\u003c\/i\u003e unpacks and redefines our ideas of community and belonging. In her essays, Gurwitch explores family mythologies, the fragility of sisterhood, the rituals and rites of passage into urban tribes, the seductive charm of a cult, and the spectacularly daunting search for the community where her aging parents will spend the last chapter of their lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With a wry wit and healthy dose of irresistible self-deprecation, Gurwitch asks: Who and what makes a family in our modern society?
