English Summary/英文概要： Avery is no stranger to the weight of loss, the way it shapes and defines the expanse of a life. The death of her sister, when Avery was just a child herself, engulfed her and her family—a mother driven mad, a father who disappeared, and all the while, neighbors and friends ignoring and surviving. The loss shades Avery’s full being, becoming a deep part of her past and her future.

As a young woman, Avery’s life in Eastern Oregon ranch country is filled with an acquired family: her partner Davis Lovell, a ranch hand and father figure; Lennie, Lovell’s daughter; and Davis’s grandparents. When Avery suffers the loss of her and Davis’s newborn child, it triggers and revives in her a familiar sense of guilt, one she has carried since childhood over the disintegration of her family.

Written with the precision of Cynthia Ozick and the blunt passion of Alice Munro, this riveting story takes place on a landscape—the deserts of Eastern Oregon—itself a deeply important character in this remarkable first novel.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 艾弗莉（Avery）还是个孩子的时候，姐姐死了，妈妈疯了，爸爸走了，一个好好的家就这么支离破碎。生活对她从不完满。她是在极度缺乏爱的情形下长大的。不安全感的阴影笼罩着她的成长。
