“Set in rural Minnesota, where a police chief and a released felon struggle with the implications of the past and the uncertainty of the future, this is a rare novel that is both unflinching and tender, a wondrous debut by a major talent.”

     —Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here

“This is a book I needed right now, because it doesn’t deny the ugliness of the world, but it reminded me of the good humans are capable of. Morales writes with a gritty earnestness that puts her in the good company of Elizabeth Strout and Kent Haruf.”

     —Benjamin Percy, author of The Sky Vault and Red Moon
