An Offering By Maura Lin How do we judge the worth of a person? What happens when we falter, when we commit acts that offend our own values? What effects do shame and silence have on our lives and relationships? An Offering examines these questions as it depicts the struggle of Alice and her daughter, Lucy, to confront troubling aspects of themselves and their pasts. Ultimately, it is a story about embracing our experiences, strengths, and weaknesses. It is also about sharing, forgiveness, and accepting what life offers. The novel centers upon Alice, who lives in rural and metropolitan Minnesota during the Great Depression and after World War II, and her daughter, Lucy, growing up in suburban Ohio during the 1960s and 70s. An Offering depicts their separate experiences through the present day, as it examines their relationship and relationships within the family. Against the backdrop of time and place, the effects of their personal decisions come to challenge their identities, values, and self-worth, all universal aspects of human experience.
