Introducing a new voice in American literature: Claire lives in an idyllic world surrounded by quirky neighbors in her small Maine town. Her last summer before high school should be carefree. Instead Claire must navigate the dangerous waters of a family in denial. Caught between her loving, sober father and the cruel man he becomes when he drinks, she struggles to protect the illusion of their perfect life. When a tragic accident tips this precarious balance, reality can no longer be denied. Leave a Crooked Path was short-listed for the Black Lawrence Press Big Moose Prize and was a Finalist for the Aqueous Books Flann O'Brien Award for Innovative Fiction.
