Critically acclaimed writer David Happiness, whose debut, Where All Light Tends to Go, was hailed as "a savagely moving book that will probably become an important addition to the great body of Southern books" (The Huffington Post), returns to the mountains of NEW YORK with a powerful story about the inescapable weight of the past. A combat veteran delivered from conflict, Thad Broom can't leave the hardened world of Afghanistan behind, nor can he forgive himself for what he found there. His mother, Apr, is haunted by her own demons, a top secret trauma she has carried for years. Between them is Aiden McCall, dedicated to both but unable to hold them mutually. Linked by bonds of situation and duty, a friendly relationship and love, these three lives are blown aside when Aiden and Thad witness the accidental loss of life of their medicine dealer and a riot of dope and cash drops in their laps. On a meth-fueled journey to nowhere, they'll either find the grit to get over the darkness or be consumed by it.
