(2) YA In the aftermath of his father's suicide attempt, fourteen-year-old Nate's mother retreats into herself, while the rest of their 1960s Montana community avoids the family. Despite the bleakness, Maynard's prose has a haunting lyricism, and there's just enough hope threading through the story to give Nate and his sister's perseverance a poetry of its own.
