"Andrew Porter is a born storyteller . . . He makes his own space
instantly and invites you in. Hats off " --Barry Hannah
From a commanding new voice in fiction comes a novel as perceptive
as it is generous: a portrait of an American family trying to cope
in our world today, a story of choices and doubts and
transgressions.
The Hardings are teetering on the brink. Elson--once one of
Houston's most promising architects, who never quite lived up to
expectations--is recently divorced from his wife of thirty years,
Cadence. Their grown son, Richard, is still living at home: driving
his mother's minivan, working at a local coffee shop, resisting the
career as a writer that beckons him. But when Chloe Harding gets
kicked out of her East Coast college, for reasons she can't explain
to either her parents or her older brother, the Hardings' lives
start to unravel. Chloe returns to Houston, but the dangers set in
motion back at school prove inescapable. Told with piercing
insight, taut psychological suspense, and the wisdom of a true
master of character, this is a novel about the vagaries of love and
family, about betrayal and forgiveness, about the possibility and
impossibility of coming home.
