> "Evocative and tactile as unearthed memory, THIS WILL BE GOOD follows the history of a family through years, homes, seasons, and bodies. They're death and grief, sex and religion. A reckoning with womanhood, manhood, and memory, these stories have a feeling of being passed down, kept secret, and slipped in notes and gestures between intimates whose closeness is felt on the skin. Press these words to your breast." --Sarah Gerard
