Description
In the aftermath of a life-altering tragedy, a young man returns to his small hometown and finds that grief doesn’t stay buried—it seeps into friendships, family loyalties, and the stories people tell to survive. As he navigates the pull of old rivalries and new responsibilities, he becomes entangled in a mystery that forces him to confront what really happened and what it cost. With lyrical, emotionally precise storytelling, this novel explores themes of loss, identity, redemption, and the complicated ways love and anger can coexist. Jeff Zentner’s distinctive voice blends coming-of-age intimacy with suspenseful momentum, delivering a haunting, hopeful journey toward understanding.
