New York Times bestselling author delivers a stunning new novel. An extraordinary story of a man and woman whose similar family ancestries have led them to remarkably different places in modern America. Charlie Blair is an FBI agent in Cheyenne, Wyoming; Lauren Miller is a reporter for the Jewish News in New York. Arriving in Jackson Hole to monitor an anti-Semitic group that has drawn national attention, each encounters the stark crossroads of American culture - traditional values like optimism and tolerance versus the antagonistic beliefs of the radical Right. When Charlie and Lauren finally meet, they find compelling but unlikely intersection in their own livews: he is barely aware of his own Jewish great-great-grandparents, and she is so assimilated her heritage hardly matters to her. With skillful narrative grace and humour that is unique, Isaacs has written a wry, surprising and delightfully crafted novel that will ensure deep satisfaction.
