Sharp Objects meets Everything I Never Told You in a relentlessly compelling family saga.
"Beautifully written. The work of a master craftsman." Grady Harp, Vine Voice
"Endlessly compelling." Writer's Digest
To save his sister, Aidan Little Boy must confront the darkness that lives in the heart of America's frontier.
When his sister joins a group living on a remote ranch, Aidan Little Boy encourages her. For four years, he has been their mother's caretaker and hasn't been the brother he wants to be. The group offers Fanny new friendships and a community deeply embedded with their father's Native American traditions.
But the ranch holds ancient secrets that threaten to spin Fanny into a darkness she is too innocent to understand. As Aidan investigates the group, he unearths a web of lies that trace back to America's settlement. Unsure who to trust, he opens his heart to a Cherokee herbalist as they uncover a plot so shocking they must risk their own lives to save innocent ones.
Hailed as "endlessly compelling," Reparation is an emotional tour de force about the dangers one man must face to rescue his family as well as himself.
