This Advance Uncorrected Proof copy has been SIGNED by Tom Barbash on the title page! Lakeland, New York, was once a world of bustling mills, proud residents, and miles of ruggedly beautiful coastline. Now it's another small Northeastern town whose pulse stopped beating years ago, where those with any ambition leave and rarely return. Jonathan Franzen called it ".an ambitious, deftly plotted, multifariously satisfying piece of genuine American realism.".

A Publishers Weekly Best Book
Jack Lambeau is the prodigal son returned home to Lakeland, New York; the Ivy-League educated architectural visionary brought home to reinvent the dying port town and smooth over its self imposed scars. His friend, Steven Turner is the Brooklyn-born local reporter who will bear witness to the city's successes and failures. Between them come Jack's beautiful fiancee Anne--an artist with secrets of her own - and his undisciplined brother Harris, hired by Jack to remove the suspicious barrels of waste from Lakeland's broken heart.
As the town struggles to find a new identity, these four characters must find their way through their own unexpected transformations and along the way attempt to answer the questions that plague us all: what is the price of loyalty, filialty, goodness and love?
