Michele Weintraub Miller has, quite rightly, become something of an overnight literary sensation. Gone by Morning is the title awarded to her debut novel, an epic story that takes place over several decades of the lives of several generations of a family in small-town Pennsylvania.\nMiller draws upon family history and interviews to create a vision of women's lives and roles during two very different eras. Often, the past reveals the characters and the conflict that lead to the destinies they have forged.\nThe novel employs an array of techniques to render both the present and the distant past in riviting detail.\nPretentious? Perhaps at times it is, but never in a strange way — more in keeping with the life story itself than any critical distinction.\nOver the course of the novel's tale, American history - with all its battles, economic turbulence, and tragic losses - also has a part to play. "Gone by Morning" culminates in 2007, but what begins with one woman's failure to carry her own story has sophisticated outcomes for others.\nHit hard and believably by events that uproot and destroy human relationships, Miller nonetheless leaves the reader with a sense of wonder and optimism, however temporary.\nWhile there are dramatic, tragic instances, when these are treated in the novel there is also a surprising resiliency of human nature and spirit throughout, equal strentgh and ingenuity, as well as capacity for community.
