Description
Luther Albright has built his life around order, precision, and control—as a civil engineer, husband, and father in Sacramento. But when an unexpected crisis unsettles his carefully structured world, he is forced to confront the fragility of his assumptions and the pressures shaping his family relationships. Set against the threat of natural disaster, this psychologically astute novel explores responsibility, masculinity, marriage, and the human desire to impose order on forces beyond our control. Its restrained, observant prose offers a compelling portrait of a man tested by circumstances he cannot engineer away.
