Paperback | Kindle
A hypnotic narrative that twists through both light and dark as journaling therapy unlocks the troubled memories of a lonely veteran.
Haunted by the death of his son in infancy and the love of his life many years later, Jake Montgomery grudgingly agrees to a form of “journal therapy” that allows him to expose and confront the sharp, insistent pain that he regularly buries with rage and scotch and television. As he writes, secrets tightly bound within him gradually unwind—first in racially segregated Ocala, Florida, in the 1950s, where his best childhood friend was a Puerto Rican jockey, then in Ireland, when a summer as a stable apprentice ushers in a new and all-consuming passion. .
