FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WRITERS & LOVERS Gardiner Amory is a New England WASP who's beginning to feel the cracks in his empire. Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him, and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated. His daughter, Daley, has spent the first eleven years of her life negotiating her parents' conflicting worlds: the liberal, socially committed realm of her mother and the conservative, decadent, liquor-soaked life of her father. But when they divorce, and Gardiner's basest impulses are unleashed, the chasm quickly widens and Daley is stretched thinly across it. As she reaches adulthood, Daley rejects the narrow world that nourished her father's fears and prejudices, and embarks on her own life - until he hits rock bottom. Lured home by the dream of getting her father sober, Daley risks everything she's found beyond him, including her new love, Jonathan, in an attempt to repair a trust broken years ago. **Winner of the New England Book Award for Fiction** **Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year** **New York Times Editors' Choice** **O Magazine and Marie Claire Summer Reading pick** **Amazon.com Best Book of the Month**
