When George Woodbury, an affable teacher and beloved husband and father, is arrested for sexual assault at his school, his family is left to pick up the pieces. His wife, Joan, a trauma nurse, is unable to triage her emotional… reactions, and vaults between rage and denial. Daughter Sadie, the consummate overachiever, finds herself paralyzed on her boyfriend’s couch with a bong, while a local author attempts to exploit her story. Their son, Andrew, a lawyer in New York, assists in his father’s defense while wrestling with the unhappy memories of his own teen years in high school. Unfolding over a one-year period, the novel focuses on the Woodbury family as they struggle to support George while privately grappling with the possibility of his guilt. Bestseller. 2016.
