A powerful, buoyant, and riveting family story that explores the complexities of grief and the small triumphs that can bring unexpected healing
Since her seventeen-year-old daughter's suicide less than a year ago, Joan Jacobs has been working hard to keep her tight-knit family from coming apart. But one evening she, her husband, and their two younger daughters encounter another tragedy at their summer home, where a pickup truck has driven into the quarry in their backyard. Within hours, police drag up the body of a young local man, James Favazza.
As they learn more about the inexplicable events that led up to that fateful evening, over the course of the summer the Jacobs become increasingly tangled in the emotional threads of James's life and death, and haunted by experiences that so closely mirror their own recent loss. In this wise, empathetic, and exquisitely heartfelt story of the strength of family bonds, the critically acclaimed Winthrop delivers a searing tour de force.
