In You Have Reached Your Destination, Marburg captures turning points in the lives of twelve disparate women. Her crisp, clear-eyed prose, infused with dark humor, reveals the inevitable collapse of pretension beneath the struggles of loneliness, death, and the all too human need to be seen. From a pre-teen attempting to understand her father’s suicide to a ninety-year-old caught in shadows of past marital abuse, the women in this collection must confront the reality that change is the only certainty and that while life may not always bring what we want, it often shows us what we need. This collection, Marburg’s finest yet, invites us to face ourselves and our own life journeys with sympathy, humor, and courage.

You Have Reached Your Destination was dubbed a “short story collection worth reading” in The Washington Post.
