Patricia Young 
Airstream 

A woman who cannot leave her house loses everything, her only companion a garrulous radio talk show host; a house fire sets into motion the end of a marriage; a teenage girl cannot extract herself from a doomed relationship with a heroin addict. Innocence, and the loss thereof, are handled with humour, compassion, and heartbreaking honesty.
