Now she's reappeared, having committed an absurd crime that electrifies the nightly news and inflames a politically divided country. The media paints Faye as a radical hippie with a sordid past, but as far as Samuel knows, his mother was an ordinary girl who married her high-school sweetheart. Which version of his mother is true? Two facts are certain: she's facing some serious charges, and she needs Samuel's help. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo save her, Samuel will have to embark on his own journey, uncovering long-buried secrets about the woman he thought he knew, secrets that stretch across generations and have their origin all the way back in Norway, home of the mysterious Nix. As he does so, Samuel will confront not only Faye's losses but also his own lost love, and will relearn everything he thought he knew about his mother, and himself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLook for Nathan Hill's new novel, \u003ci\u003eWellness\u003c\/i\u003e, coming soon!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNATHAN HILL\u003c\/b\u003e's short fiction has appeared in many literary journals, including \u003ci\u003eThe Iowa Review, AGNI, The Gettysburg Review, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFiction, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich awarded him its annual Fiction Prize.
