An uplifting tale about human connection, random acts of kindness, America's heartland, and love. The novel shines in empathy and grace through well-crafted characters.-IndieReader
Liz Randall has nothing left to call her own. After she is spectacularly fired from her Michigan mill job, there are few places to run to. Her mother and brother are both dead, and her father, Nick, suffering from intense PTSD, has become a recluse in a cabin in the middle of the Michigan wilderness.
When Liz decides to visit Nick at Devil's Elbow, a bend in the Crooked River, she doesn't realize that this is the first step on her journey to a new home. As Liz reconnects with her father, she also meets new friends who have found their own sense of belonging at Devil's Elbow: Rozeta, an Egyptian doctor with a tragic childhood; Naomi, an Odawa woman from Hungry Hollow, a local Native American community; Walt, a meth dealer turned ice-cream maker; and Stretch, a Korean War veteran with more than one failed relationship weighing on his heart. They will show Liz the importance of community, friendship, and family in this poignant and evocative novel.
