- bestseller,
- Evan
- Reid
- Silver
- is
- taken
- under
- the
- mentoring
- wing
- of
- longtime
- author
- Ray
- Richard
- Brockner.
- Over
- the
- next
- ten
- years,
- the
- two
- share
- good
- and
- bad
- advice,
- truisms
- on
- life,
- and
- the
- ups
- and
- downs
- of
- friendship.
- Unable
- to
- pen
- a
- follow-up
- to
- his
- exemplary
- debut,
- Evan
- is
- further
- devastated
- at
- Brockner's
- sudden
- death.
- Tapped
- by
- Wennie
- Cargan,
- Brock's
- sister,
- to
- go
- through
- her
- brother's
- private
- papers,
- Evan
- descends
- to
- Brock's
- hometown
- of
- Apple
- Junction
- along
- the
- Ohio
- River.
- Wennie
- and
- her
- son
- Nick
- are
- among
- the
- hundreds
- whose
- lives
- were
- uprooted
- by
- a
- recent
- tornado.
- Dealing
- with
- the
- pieces
- of
- Brock's
- life,
- and
- the
- eeriness
- of
- a

- and
- dying
- village,
- Evan
- becomes
- more
- unsettled
- by
- Brock's
- notes
- hinting
- at
- a
- lost
- manuscript.
- This
- last
- book
- of
- Ray
- Richard
- Brockner
- contains
- too
- much
- fact
- and
- not
- enough
- fiction
- ...
- a
- past
- that
- someone
- wants
- to
- keep buried.
