Nobody's Family is Going to Change
Louise Fitzhugh
At turns dark and hilarious, ripe with humor and insight, Nobody’s Family is Going to Change is the story of Emma Sheridan and her brother Willie, Upper East Side kids determined to become, respectively, a lawyer and a dancer despite their father’s gloomy opposition. It’s a quintessential portrait of 70’s New York, one that tackles racism, sexism, homophobia and even politics with Fitzhugh’s trademark humor, in which Emma and Willie learn the surprising price of fighting their father and society’s expectations.
