We are called to rise
Laura McBride2014

In the predawn hours, a woman's marriage crumbles with a single confession. Across town, an immigrant family struggles to get by in the land of opportunity. Three thousand miles away, a soldier wakes in hospital with the vague feeling that he's done something awful.
In Laura McBride's breathtaking debut novel, these disparate lives are brought together by one split-second choice. Faced with seemingly insurmontable loss, each person must decide whether to give in to despair, or find the courage and resilience to rise.
