Having already lost his mother and only brother,
twenty-four-year-old Will Boast finds himself absolutely alone when
his father dies of alcoholism. Numbly settling the matters of his
father's estate, Boast is deep inside his grief when he stumbles
upon documents revealing a secret his father had intended to keep:
He d had another family before Will's a wife and two sons in
England.
This revelation leads to a flood of new questions. Did his
father abandon this first family, or was he pushed away? Still
reeling from loss, Boast is forced to reconsider the fundamental
truths of his childhood and to look for traces of the man his
father might truly have been. Setting out in search of his half
brothers, he attempts to reconcile their family history with his
own, testing each childhood memory under the weight of his father's
secret. Moving between the Midwest and England, from scenes of his
youth to the tentative discovery of his new family, Boast writes
with visceral beauty about grief, memory, and his slow and tender
journey to a new kind of love.
With the piercing gaze of a novelist, Boast transforms the pain
and confusion of his family history into an achingly poignant
portrait of resilience, revising the stories he's inherited to
refashion both his past and his present. Heartbreaking and
luminous, Epilogue is the stunning account of a young man s
struggle to understand all that he has lost and found, and to forge
a new life for himself along the way."
