From Library Journal:

Love, and the pain of its loss, are at the heart of this exceptional first novel. When her mother dies in a car accident, 25-year-old Ellie Lowell leaves her lover and work in New York to spend the summer with her father in her North Carolina hometown. But Ellie and Tom Lowell, never close, offer each other little comfort; he's a cop who works overtime for distraction, she's a waitress who finds no balm for her grief at work. Vulnerable, she's drawn to and soon obsessed with a half-Cherokee drug-dealing biker; she finds herself risking reputation and relationships as she drowns her sorrow in sex. McCloy draws these characters beautifully in clean, spare prose, which is alternately deeply sensual and achingly moving. A striking literary debut. Literary Guild Alternate.
