Abstract

The call came one Sunday evening in the spring. My son's weekly check-in from the West Coast. "Hi, Mom, uh, guess what? The company's gone belly up. I'm thinking about heading back. I think I'll come home, OK?" Panic set in. "Oh," I started imitating static. "You're breaking up, son! Try calling back later!"
