Stein, Michael

Recommended reading for those interested in social justice issues, especially around poverty and health; this would also be an interesting supplemental read for students interested in health science and public health careers.

Basing his story on a real-life drama, award-winning author Stein (In the Age of Love) crafts his quirky characters to reflect the complexities in all human relationships. It's a bit uncertain whether this story takes place in New Haven or Providence, but location notwithstanding, this work is a fascinating inside look at the art world and will appeal to most fiction readers.
