From the bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes, a masterful novel about a couple in a small town who must navigate the complexities of marriage, family, & longing.
Malcolm Gephardt, handsome & gregarious longtime bartender at the Half Moon, has always dreamed of owning a bar. When his boss finally retires, Malcolm stretches to buy the place. He sees unquantifiable magic & potential in the Half Moon & hopes to transform it into a bigger success, but struggles to stay afloat.
His smart & confident wife, Jess, has devoted herself to her law career. After years of trying for a baby, she is facing the idea that motherhood may not be in the cards for her. Like Malcolm, she feels her youth beginning to slip away & wonders how to reshape her future.
Award-winning author Mary Beth Keane’s new novel takes place over the course of one week when Malcolm learns shocking news about Jess, a patron of the bar goes missing, & a blizzard hits the town of Gillam, trapping everyone in place.
With a deft eye & generous spirit, Keane explores the disappointments & unexpected consolations of midlife, the many forms forgiveness can take, the complicated intimacy of small-town living, & what it means to be a family.
