June Reid is the sole survivor of an unbearable tragedy that
grips the entire town of Wells, Connecticut. Shortly before her daughter’s
wedding, a gas leak leads to an explosion at June’s house, leaving a bereft
June and gossiping townspeople to make sense of it all. Directionless, June
leaves Wells to drive across the country. Those she leaves behind whisper about
what happened and if Luke, June’s thuggish boyfriend, was really responsible.
With poetic language and through multiple perspectives, Clegg slowly reveals the
narrative of a town touched by tragedy and the truth about those at its heart.
