Book Synopsis
What could be more painful than a missing child? And how might the community better support families - especially young, single mothers and their children? In Comfort Stew, acclaimed Chicago poet and playwright Angela Jackson addresses these questions in what she has called a meditation on motherhood and what it means to love.

Trade Review
Tradition, Jackson is saying, must be combined with personal empowerment and responsibility. And the love of community, family and a life partner can help overcome negative social forces . . . Jackson has a fine facility for language, sending her characters on complex but intriguing lyrical journeys." —Chicago Tribune
