Stop Here is a 'novel in stories' that narrates the private and emotionally interconnected lives of several women who work at a Long Island diner. While Ava privately grieves the loss of her husband in the first Iraq War, Mila struggles to dissuade her 17-year-old daughter from enlisting in the second. Rosalyn works as an escort by night until love and illness conspire to disrupt the tenuous balance she has found. Ultimately it is love - for one another and for their wayward families - that sustains them through the pain and uncertainty of a world with no easy answers.
