"In A Gram of Mars, Hagenston offers us tales of the heart at home, capturing the fractured experience of family and the often desperate need for connection. Set on the author's home turf of Maryland, where she grew up, and in Arizona, where she attended graduate school, Hagenston's stories bravely document the ways in which we fail each other and ourselves. . . . One is both comforted and hallenged by the familiarity of the characters and the shared history that is life in the late 20th century. Hers is a new and necessary voice in American fiction."
