Synopsis
A novel about second chances from a writer of stirring, poignant, and quietly profound work (Wally Lamb)
Twenty-five years after his high school graduation, David Halpert returns to a place that most people flee. But David is making his own escapefrom his divorce and the death of his son. In Detroit David learns about the double shooting of his high school girlfriend, Natalie, and her black half-brother, Dirk. As David becomes involved with Natalies sister, he will discover that both he and his hometown have reason to hope.
As compelling an urban portrait asThe Wireand a touching love story,Say Nice Things about Detroittakes place in a racially polarized, economically collapsing city that doesnt seem like a place for rebirth. But as David tries to make sense of the mystery behind Natalies death and puts back the pieces of his own life, he is forced to answer a simple question: If you want to go home again, what do you do if home is Detroit?
