Lizzie Benson is a librarian at a New York City university who stresses over her dog, husband, son, needy library patrons, religious mom and ex-addict brother. Her bandwidth is stretched further when Sylvia, her former mentor and a successful podcaster, hires Lizzie to answer letters written by the doomsday preppers who listen to her podcast, Hell and High Water. Oh, the 2016 election is taking place too. Offill engagingly portrays a woman mauled by the mundane and monumental.
