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?

But for Elsa Wolcott, deemed too old to marry in a time when marriage is a woman’s only option, the future seems bleak. Until the night she meets Rafe Martinelli.

Elsa must make an agonizing choice: fight for the land she loves or leave it behind and go west, to California, in search of a better life for her family.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. 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. For the dog belonged to none other than Gabriel Wolfe, the man Beth loved as a teenager—the man who broke her heart years ago. Gabriel has returned to the village with his young son Leo, a boy who reminds Beth very much of her own son, who died in a tragic accident.

Ruth Wariner was the 39th of her father's 42 children. Growing up on a farm in rural Mexico, where authorities turned a blind eye to the practices of her community, Ruth lives in a ramshackle house without indoor plumbing or electricity. At church, preachers teach that God will punish the wicked by destroying the world and that women can ascend to heaven only by entering into polygamous marriages and giving birth to as many children as possible.

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening, her husband, Gabriel, returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety.

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.
