He caught brief moments of his neighbor Elizabeth's life--from the day she came home from the hospital to her early twenties. But there's something deeper and more dangerous than the river that divides him from her and the rest of the tribal community. It's the secret that Elizabeth is his daughter, a secret Charles is no longer willing to keep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now, it's been weeks since he's seen Elizabeth, and Charles is worried. As he attempts to hold on to and care for what he can--his home and property; his alcoholic and bighearted friend Bobby; and his mother, Louise, who is slipping deeper into dementia--he becomes increasingly haunted by his past. Forced to confront a lost childhood on the reservation, a love affair cut short, and the death of his beloved stepfather, Fredrick, Charles contends with questions he's long been afraid to ask. Is his secret about Elizabeth his to share? And would his daughter want to know the truth, even if it could cost her everything she's ever known?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan Talty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.82w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959030553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e ALA Notable Books - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2024 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2024 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/21\/2024 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTalty, Morgan:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMorgan Talty\u003c\/strong\u003e is a citizen of the Penobscot Indian Nation.
