Ducks, Newburyport

Peeling apple after apple for the tartes tatin she bakes for local restaurants, an Ohio mother wonders how to exist in a world of distraction and fake facts, besieged by a tweet-happy president and trigger-happy neighbors, and all of them oblivious to what Dupont has dumped into the rivers and whats happening at the factory farm down the interstatenot to mention what was done to the lands first inhabitants.
