Name: Ironbound
Author: Martyna Majok

"At a bus stop in a run-down New Jersey, Darja, a Polish immigrant cleaning lady, is done talking about feelings; it's time to talk money. Over the course of 20 years, and three relationships, Darja negotiates for her future with men who can offer her love or security, but never both. Martyna Majok's 'Ironbound' is a darkly funny, heartbreaking portrait of a woman for whom love is a luxury -- and a liability -- as she fights to survive in America."-- Page 4 of cover.
