In such a disarming debut, Brian Strause has written a vastly entertaining novel about an American family transfixed by some mysterious events. From an appropriate suburb of Columbus, Ohio, emerges a tale of rebellion, faith, and hope, bridging the cultural gap between those who have confidence in miracles and those who want they could. Monroe Anderson, as quiet on the outside as he's sardonic and alive inside, has spent most of his eighteen years endeavoring to fly beneath the radar. If they can remain invisible, he believes, his sadistic older brother, a rising golf star, might not torment him, his workaholic father, a renowned litigator, might not notice him long enough to be disappointed, and his mother might possibly not have to struggle so difficult to find a hopeful word. The one people who glimpse the true Monroe are his girlfriend, Emily, and his eleven-year-old sister, Annika. On the night of his senior prom, Monroe finds Annika floating facedown in the family pool. He dives in and rescues her, however, not quickly enough to prevent her from slipping into a coma. As the family copes with this crisis, Monroe's mother turns to religion, his father turns to liquor, and Monroe himself must decide what's worth believing in, what's worth fighting for, and, finally, who he wants to be. By turns humorous and heartbreaking, personal and sweeping, familiar and extraordinary, Brian Strause's mesmerizing novel takes readers with an unforgettable emotional journey into America's heartland.
