As a young man, Bill Argus abandoned his wife, their young son, and
his family's dairy farm in the Sonoma County hamlet of Pianto. Now
sixty-three, the once-famous photographer is overcome with the need
to find forgiveness from those he left behind. Journeying back to
the small dreary California town, he is disoriented after finding a
ragged skeleton of the boyhood farm he remembers, and a family
unmoved and indifferent to his return.
Bill's awkward homecoming is seen through the eyes of his second
wife, Nora (twenty years his junior), who has her own troubled
family history. Bearing witness to Bill's reception in Pianto
sparks in Nora a revisiting of her own complicated past, and soon,
she too sets off on a spiritual journey to explore her own parts
unknown.
Set against the wild beauty of the California desert, this
deftly imagined first novel lovingly maps the diverse terrain of
the human heart as it probes the intricate bonds of family and the
complex nature of forgiveness and love.
