From the best-selling author of Ask Again, Yes, a brilliant book about a couple navigating the challenges of marriage, family, and desire while living in a small town.
Malcolm Gephardt has always wanted to have his own bar. He is a charming and outgoing bartender at the Half Moon. Malcolm saves enough to purchase the property when his employer eventually decides to retire. He strives to make the Half Moon a larger success since he believes it has unquantifiable charm and promise, but he also battles to make ends meet.
Jess, his intelligent and self-assured wife, has dedicated herself to her legal profession. She is coming to terms with the possibility that parenthood may not be in her future after years of trying for a child. Similar to Malcolm, she senses that her youth is evaporating and contemplates how to transform her destiny.
In the space of a week, Malcolm finds out disturbing information about Jess, a bar customer disappears, and a snowstorm traps everyone in Gillam, according to award-winning author Mary Beth Keane's latest book. Keane examines the ups and downs of midlife, the many shapes forgiveness may take, the complex intimacy of small-town life, and what it means to be a family with a keen eye and a giving heart.
