"Like Wharton, Acampora seems to understand fiction as a kind of elegant design. As characters reappear in one story after another, Acampora reveals herself as a careful architect... lovely prose... often a single sentence twists sinuously, charged with positive and negative electricity."--New York Times Book Review

Launched by four starred prepubs and a full page New York Times book review, The Wonder Garden marks Lauren Acampora's rarely seen, sensational entrance into the literary world. With enchanting realism, these linked stories bring to the page the myriad lives of a suburban town, and reveal at each turn the unseen battles we play out behind drawn blinds, the creeping truths from which we distract ourselves, and the massive dreams we haul quietly with us and hold close. Deliciously creepy and masterfully complex The Wonder Garden heralds the arrival of a phenomenal new talent in American fiction.

"Acampora's stories show that an Anna Karenina principle still applies: All happy families are the same; the unhappy ones are miserable in their own special way. Or to boil it down to modern terms: mo' money, mo' problems ... Add well-drawn characters, interesting plots, cultural zingers and dead-on critiques of consumerism and Acampora delivers a page-turner."--Dallas Morning News

"A smashing debut, with range, subtlety and bite. Reading Acampora, we're in Cheever country, with hints of Flannery O'Connor."--Jane Ciabattari, BBC.com

"In 13 sharply drawn linked stories, Acampora reveals the complexities beneath the polish and privilege of a prosperous Connecticut town."--People

LOVE this blanket hoodie!!
Color: Grey, Size: Standard
I’ve been using my Blanket Hoodie mainly while working at home and relaxing in the evenings. It’s exceptionally soft and warm! Pros: • Thick, cozy sherpa material that keeps me warm without feeling heavy • Good length • Comfortable enough to wear during long TV binges or while I'm at my computer working from home! Cons: • Hood is roomy and shifts around a bit • Sleeves are slightly This hoodie is a solid choice if you want something warmer than a typical sweatshirt. I might try a different size next time for a better sleeve fit, but I would recommend this for anyone who gets cold easily.

Great gifts for grandkids
Color: Olive Green, Size: Small
We bought eight wearable blanket hoodies for our grandkids that were 12 and younger. Each child got a different color and design that we picked to match their personalities and preferred toy or activities. They were everyone’s favorite Christmas gift (December 2025). A month later I they are still wearing them everywhere because the are fun and comfortable. They use them indoors and out as they are warm enough to replace a jacket or heavy sweat shirt but not too warm for indoor. Did not have any quality issues with any of them. They are designed to be roomy with sleeves that will cover their hands if they want but they have a cuff to keep them off their hands when they want. The two available sizes worked with everyone from 3 years old to 12 years old.
