    Avery is no stranger to the weight of loss, the way it shapes and defines the expanse of a life. The death of her sister, when Avery was just a child herself, engulfed her and her family—a mother driven mad, a father who disappeared, and all the while, neighbors and friends ignoring and surviving. The loss shades Avery's full being, becoming a deep part of her past and her future. As a young woman, Avery's life in Eastern Oregon ranch country is filled with an acquired family: her partner Davis Lovell, a ranch hand and father figure; Lennie, Lovell's daughter; and Davis's grandparents. When Avery suffers the loss of her and Davis's newborn child, it triggers and revives in her a familiar sense of guilt, one she has carried since childhood over the disintegration of her family. Written with the precision of Cynthia Ozick and the blunt passion of Alice Munro, this riveting story takes place on a landscape—the deserts of Eastern Oregon—itself a deeply important character in this remarkable first novel Greasewood Creek -- June 1970 -- Telling -- June 1973 -- Willow -- June 1970 -- Home -- September 1984 -- August 1970 -- January 1980 -- November 1970 -- May 1982 -- August 1970 -- Hole -- August 1970 -- Ruby -- Flight -- September 1971 -- Vessels -- Birth -- August 1972 -- Surfacing -- Perfect -- Lennie Explains -- Lilacs -- Seeds -- Rain -- December 1971 -- Wing -- Celilo -- Hands -- May 1978 -- Bodies in Motion -- August 1970 -- Christmas Tree -- Dishpan -- The Orchard -- January 1972 -- Tumbleweeds -- Signs and Wonders -- Meridian -- The Red Slip -- July 1983 -- Artifacts -- Spring 1968 -- Piano -- Dirt -- River -- Memorial Day, Warm Springs Reservation

    In this addictive and highly original debut novel a fifteen-year-old boy dies mysteriously, leaving behind a secret ledger filled with his darkly comic confessions. Whether fantasizing about being a minority, breaking into his neighbors' homes, or gunning down an exotic bird, Henry Every's wayward quest for betterment sometimes bordered on the criminal. Alone now in their suburban house, his father pores over the ledger in a final attempt to connect with the boy he never really knew -- and, more urgently, to figure out how he died. As Harlan Every learns the truth about his son's many misadventures and transgressions, he also discovers the part he unwittingly played in Henry's tragic death and the real reason his wife walked out years ago. The story grows into two parallel love stories -- one past, one present -- with drastically different outcomes. Witty and wise, The Every Boy is a page-turning mystery, a love story, an exploration of what it means to be a family, and a one-of-a kind celebration of human individuality Front Cover -- Inside Front Cover -- Front Matter -- Half Title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11 -- 12 -- 13 -- 14 -- 15 -- 16 -- 17 -- 18 -- 19 -- 20 -- 21 -- 22 -- 23 -- 24 -- 25 -- 26 -- 27 -- 28 -- 29 -- 30 -- 31 -- 32 -- 33 -- 34 -- 35 -- 36 -- Back Matter -- Epigraph -- Acknowledgments
