As soon as he finished high school Joe Goffman escaped his sleepy hometown of Bush Falls and never looked back. Then he wrote a bestselling novel that savaged everyone in town and went on to become a blockbuster Hollywood movie. So when Joe is forced to return to care for his ailing father, the people of Bush Falls are in no mood to welcome him back. His brother avoids him, former classmates beat him up, and the local book club hurl their copies at his house. Everyone's a critic. But while Bush Falls may not be pleased to see Joe, it becomes clear Joe needs Bush Falls. With the help of some old friends and plenty of enemies he revisits the past he thought he'd left behind forever, a past full of passion, betrayal and catastrophe. After seventeen years of running away,Joe is ready to face the music- and his childhood sweetheart if he can survive the homecoming. Jonathan Tropper has created a compelling, incredibly resonant story that's both irresistibly funny and achingly poignant.
