Description
"[Seaburn] does a good job of tracking the myriad ways that the different players react to the tragedy." -KIRKUS REVIEWS
"I don't know how, and I don't know why, but I think I died today."
So begins the complex and mysterious journey of Gavin Goode and his family. What happened to Gavin and why? What secrets will emerge along the way? Frankie, his wife and a dress store owner, feels guilty, but why? His son, Ryan, who owns an ice cream parlor, and daughter-in-law, Jenna, who is a bank manager, are expecting their first baby. How will this trauma affect them? And what of Rosemary, Frankie's best friend? Or Ben Hillman and eleven year old, Christopher? How are they implicated in the events that unfold around Gavin's misfortune?
This is a story of despair and hope, dreams and reality, uncertainty and faith, humor, secrecy, forgiveness and beginnings.
