New York: Mariner Books / Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, (2017). A novel of a marriage and a road trip gone awry - Frederick Barthelme called this "a dazzling new novel with a perfectly drawn forty-something couple on a positively Hitchcockian misadventure. As the suspense grows, their world turns darker and more menacing, threatened by violent weather and bizarre people, like the cowboy who, out of nowhere, remarks on Maggie's appearance - or does he? By then you know you're in for the duration, a ride into the heart of darkness, West Virginia-style, where, after a night in hell and a heartbreakingly high price, they find what they're looking for - a way out, a second chance." 191 pp plus notes and a reading group guide.
