"Hafner's taut and utterly delightful debut is a novel of
multitudes.... What a wonder of storytelling." -Weike Wang, New

Summer Reads A delicious summer read filled with humor and surprise
for readers of Anne Tyler and Kevin Wilson. When introverted Ethan
Fawcett marries fun-loving Barb, so comfortable in the world, he
has every reason to believe he will be delivered from a lifetime of
solitude. She fills his world with a sense of adventure, expanding
his horizons beyond his comfortable routine. To ease Ethan's fears
of becoming a father, Barb suggests they foster two young brothers,
Tommy and Sam, and Ethan immediately falls in love with the boys.
When the pandemic hits, he becomes obsessed with providing a
perfect life for them. But instead of bringing Barb and Ethan
closer together, the boys become a wedge in their relationship, as
Ethan is unable to share with Barb a secret that has been haunting
him since childhood. Then Ethan takes Tommy and Sam on a biking
trip in Italy, and it becomes clear just how unusual Ethan and his
boys are.
