Description
In Wisconsin and Florida, in backyards, waiting rooms, boardrooms, and bedrooms, How We Do Things Here exposes the hilarity and heartbreak caused by a group of mess-makers struggling to survive themselves, each other, and the places they're trying to call home. Inside absurd and poignant moments that provoke much laughter and pain, Matt Cashion's cast of slow-learners reveals how we try (and fail) and retry to forge meaningful connections in the troubled spaces we're so desperate to share.
