Fiction
From the author of publishing sensation The Mourning Hours
comes a powerful new novel that explores every parent's
worst nightmare. The Kaufmans have always considered themselves a normal,
happy family. Curtis is a physics teacher at a local high
school. His wife, Kathleen, restores furniture for upscale
boutiques. Daniel is away at college on a prestigious
music
scholarship, and twelve-year-old Olivia is a happy-go-
lucky
kid whose biggest concern is passing her next math test. And then comes the middle-of-the-night phone call that
changes everything. Daniel has been killed in what the
police are calling a "freak" road accident, and the
remaining Kaufmans are left to flounder in their grief. The anguish of Daniel's death is isolating, and it's not
long before this once-perfect family finds itself falling
apart. As time passes and the wound refuses to heal,
Curtis
becomes obsessed with the idea of revenge, a growing mania
that leads him to pack up his life and his anxious teenage
daughter and set out on a collision course to right a
wrong. An emotionally charged novel, The Fragile World is a
journey
through America's heartland and a family's brightest and
darkest moments, exploring the devastating pain of losing
a
child and the beauty of finding healing in unexpected
ways.
