Get Down

More about the book

Vividly drawn misfits navigate the complexities of youth and desire in this exploration of identity and belonging. The characters, ranging from a heathen at Jesus camp to a middle-aged mom longing for her past, grapple with their aspirations and the allure of a more reckless lifestyle. As they oscillate between good breeding and the temptation of wild experiences, their stories intertwine in a poignant narrative that captures the essence of longing and the quest for connection. Edward P. Jones praises it as "touching and sensitively observed."
