From the moving dedication to his mother to the final page, Wally Lamb brings you into the world of Caelum Quirk. This book at times caused tears, smiles, and sighs of understanding. Lamb may struggle with his writing but on the page it flows effortlessly. Caelum is a man at sea. He must find a way to support and believe in his wife who is suffering from acute PTSD, find a connection to the family he separated himself from, and find himself.

I have always loved Lamb's writing and never thought he could surpass "I Know This Much is True". I am so happy to say that he did.
