Staff Reviews
Crossroads traces a family of six, two middle aged parents, 3 adolescents and one elementary aged boy, as they face past traumas and personal struggles. The balance of power is constantly shifting between the middle age parents and their adolescent children. The father is an assistant mininster and the politics of the church and its youth group factor prominently into the story, as does each character's personal relationship with religion. The first in a triology, I look forward to following this family.

Franzen turns his expert literary focus on a family and their experiences in the 1970s with religion, sex, drugs, and what it means to be good. I loved this book! It is the first of three books, and I can’t wait for the next one!
