Abstract:

Meet 17-year-old Noah York, the hilariously profane, searingly honest narrator of Yates's debut novel. Noah's widowed mother has relocated them from Chicago to rural New England. As he and his mother renovate their old Victorian house, within the walls they find scraps of writing, old photographs--disturbing clues to the existence of a woman who disappeared decades before. While his mother grows more obsessed by the discovery of these reliquaries, Noah fights his own troubling obsession with the boy next door, the enigmatic J.D. It is J.D. who begins to quietly anchor Noah to his new life--J.D., who is hides terrible pain behind an easy smile and a carefree attitude. Soon, the boys' tentative attraction to each other blossoms into a love that will shatter the manicured façade of small-town civility and reveal the cruelties and betrayals hiding behind the emotional walls carefully constructed by husbands and wives, mothers and sons, friends and neighbors.--From publisher description.
