Description
Micah Mortimer is a mid-forties IT technician whose life runs on precision: he lives alone, keeps his home spotless, and measures each day by routine so nothing unexpected can slip in. When the sudden arrival of his ex-girlfriend’s son disrupts his carefully ordered world, Micah is forced to confront the limits of control—and the quiet loneliness he’s been maintaining. As he tries to make sense of this new, complicated connection, the novel becomes a tender, unsentimental love story for people who don’t fit neatly into anyone else’s expectations. With Anne Tyler’s signature blend of wry observation and emotional clarity, the book explores family, belonging, and the small, surprising ways we learn to live with change.
