AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK
A USA TODAY BESTSELLER
#1 New York Times bestselling author Wally Lamb, celebrated for two prior Oprah Book Club selections, returns with an exceptional third pick, a propulsive novel following a young father grappling with unbearable tragedy as he searches for hope, redemption, and the possibility of forgiveness.
Corby Ledbetter is struggling. New fatherhood, the loss of his job, and a growing secret addiction have thrown his marriage to his beloved Emily into a tailspin. And that’s before he causes the tragedy that tears the family apart. Sentenced to prison, Corby struggles to survive life on the inside, where he bears witness to frightful acts of brutality but also experiences small acts of kindness and elemental kinship with a prison librarian who sees his light and some of his fellow offenders, including a tender-hearted cellmate and a troubled teen desperate for a role model. Buoyed by them and by his mother’s enduring faith in him, Corby begins to transcend the boundaries of his confinement, sustained by his hope that mercy and reconciliation might still be possible. Can his crimes ever be forgiven by those he loves?

Welcome to North Falls—a small town where everyone knows everyone. Or so they think. Until the night of the fireworks. When two teenage girls vanish, and the town ignites. For Officer Emmy Clifton, it’s personal. She turned away when her best friend's daughter needed help—and now she must bring her home. But as Emmy combs through the puzzle the girls left behind, she realizes she never really knew them. Nobody did. Every teenage girl has secrets. But who would kill for them? And what else is the town hiding?

But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives.

On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Brilliantly written and narrated. Realities of humanity both good and bad so it can be a tough listen at times. Well developed characters highlighting tragedy, transformation and hope. Still catching my breath.
Excellent story and narrator. Would highly recommend. Caution to anyone who could be triggered by the subjects covered.

For me, it was totally worth it. It’s one of the most beautifully written and gut-wrenchingly tragic stories I’ve read in a long time and the characters will stay with me long after the final page. I absolutely loved it! The narrator was perfection. Five stars, and fair warning: you’ll need tissues. 💔
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful and Gut-wrenching

This is a tough read. It pushes us to the edge of our comfort zones and forces us to grapple with messy questions about blame, forgiveness, marriage, parenthood, loyalty, and what redemption really means.
Some of the one-star reviews I’ve read say they just couldn’t forgive Corby. He did something terrible and should be punished forever. But real life, especially when it comes to mental illness, addiction, and the loss of a child under tragic circumstances, is seldom black and white. There are layers and complications. Things that can’t be neatly explained.
Years ago, my family lived through a similar tragedy that changed us. Because of that, Corby’s experience—and the way he processes the unthinkable—felt so true to me. The same goes for Emily, his wife, and the way she tries to move on after the worst has happened. Grief is raw and unpredictable, and it looks different for everyone. There isn’t an instruction manual.
This story did hit a lot of nerves, but I found the ending to be healing for many of the characters we get to know throughout the story.
I can’t say I loved the book, exactly, but it felt important. And the writing was honest.
Some readers are p*ssed with Lamb weaving his political views into the story, but I say—go for it, Wally. Say what needs saying!
This book won’t be for everyone. But I’m glad I listened to it. The narrator, Jeremy Sisto, was brilliant.
