Description

In this sprawling, ambitious novel, David James Duncan masterfully weaves a rich tapestry of family, faith, and the American experience. The story centers on the Chance family, whose lives are shaped by the dreams of a former baseball player, the fervent faith of his wife, and the turbulent currents of mid-20th century America. Through the eyes of the youngest son, readers witness the unfolding of their fate from the Eisenhower era through the Vietnam War, exploring themes of disillusionment, hope, and the enduring bonds of kinship. Duncan's prose is both hilariously witty and profoundly moving, creating a deeply resonant portrait of a family grappling with the complexities of life, love, and belief.
