Seven Stories About Tammy

The novella begins when Morris Harkin brings home his older, enigmatic new girlfriend, Tammy, to meet his judgmental family. Rather than focusing purely on Tammy, the narrative unfolds across seven distinct vignettes told over several years from the perspective of different family members, tracking their obsession with her to reveal the deep-seated insecurities, hypocrisies, and unhappiness of the Harkin family itself.
