From the author of The Jump Artist and winner of the Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature, comes the fresh and earnest story of fathers, sons, and brothers, bound by love yet divided by history. As the lovably neurotic Auberons make their way on a cross country road trip, their battles and reconciliations illuminate the power of family to both destroy and empower, and the price and rewards of independence.
