Summary:
"One warm West Texas November night, a shy boy named
Oliver
Loving
joins his classmates at Bliss Township School's annual dance, hoping for a glimpse of the object of his unrequited affections, an enigmatic junior named Rebekkah Sterling. But as the music plays, a troubled young man sneaks in through the school's back door. The dire choices this man makes that evening -- and the unspoken story he carries -- will tear the town of Bliss, Texas, apart. Nearly ten years later,
Oliver
Loving
still lies wordless and paralyzed at Crockett State Assisted Care Facility, the fate of his mind unclear. Orbiting the still point of
Oliver
's hospital bed is a family transformed:
Oliver
's mother, Eve, who keeps desperate vigil;
Oliver
's brother, Charlie, who has fled for New York City only to discover he cannot escape the gravity of his shattered family;
Oliver
's father, Jed, who tries to erase his memories with bourbon. And then there is Rebekkah Sterling,
Oliver
's teenage love, who left Texas long ago and still refuses to speak about her own part in that tragic night. When a new medical test promises a key to unlock
Oliver
's trapped mind, the town's unanswered questions resurface with new urgency, as
Oliver
's doctors and his family fight for a way for
Oliver
to finally communicate -- and so also tell the truth of what really happened that fateful night."--Publisher's description.
