Nate, a young man with a gift for math and science, rejects a comfortable future by walking away from college to pursue painting-a desperate attempt to access the emotions buried deep within him following the tragic death of his revered older brother. But Nate's search for meaning is lonely and frustrating until he meets Audrey Brubaker, a paradox of strength and vulnerability, who becomes a sort of mentor to Nate, guiding him toward self-discovery. But in the end it is Audrey who will ultimately need Nate's emotional insight, and in a devastating turn, she seeks redemption in the most unexpected way-forcing Nate to tap into the very depths of empathy and courage she's helped him to uncover.Author BioDonald Lystra was raised in the cities, towns, and suburbs of Michigan. As a young man he was variously engaged as an auto plant worker, a door-to-door salesman, a dishwasher, a housepainter, and a shipyard engineer. He eventually settled into a career as an electrical engineer, though in his fifties he began to write fiction in a serious way. As a writer he has received creative writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the McDowell Colony. His 2012 novel, Season of Water and Ice, received the gold medal for Best General Fiction from the Midwest Publishers Association and was named a Michigan Notable Book by the Library of Michigan. His 2014 short story collection, Something that Feels like Truth, also received a MIPA gold medal and a Michigan Notable Book award, as well gaining the IPPY gold medal for Best Regional Fiction. Lystra and his wife divide their time between a farm in northern Michigan and a town on the ocean side of Florida.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/01c92970-1ee5-11f0-b1a8-95aba4063b67-rimg-w540-h740-dca57878-gmir.jpg
