At fifty-two, psychiatrist Philip Adler is divorced, alone, and
gutted of passion. When a funeral draws him back to his ex-wife's
homeland of France, the trip reunites him with a trauma he has
struggled to forget: the brutal death of his teenage daughter
fifteen years earlier. Prodded by his former brother-in-law and
stirred by the unspent embers of his marriage, he embarks on a
mission to resolve lingering questions about this past, hoping to
heal himself along the way. The search leads to a disturbed man who
may hold more answers than anyone expects-if only Philip can hear
what he's trying to say. A suspenseful literary novel set in the
lush backgrounds of Normandy, Theory of Remainders explores the
secret ties between love, trauma, and language.

When Scott Carpenter moves from Minnesota to Paris, little does he
suspect the dramas that await: scheming neighbors, police
denunciations, surly demonstrators, cooking disasters, medical
mishaps-not to mention all those lectures about cheese! It turns
out that nothing in the City of Light can be taken for granted,
where even trips to the grocery store lead to adventure. In French
Like Moi, Carpenter guides us through the merry labyrinth of the
everyday, one hilarious faux pas after another. Through it all, he
keeps his eye on the central mystery of what makes the French
French (and Midwesterners Midwestern).
