Summary:
"When
Sara
Schaefer
is in first grade, her father warns her to always tell the truth because one lie leads to another and soon you will find yourself in a hole you can't escape. A few years later, the
Schaefer
family
is completely upended when it's revealed that their grand life is based on a lie. Her parents become pariahs in their upper middle class community and go from non-religious people to devout church members. The idea of good and evil as binary, opposed forces is drilled into
Sara
and it becomes the perfect framework on which to build her anxiety and increasingly-obsessive thoughts. The year she turns forty,
Sara
decides to take each member of her
family
on a one-on-one vacation culminating with a whitewater rafting journey through the Grand Canyon with her younger sister. The only problem is she's terrified of rafting. Along the way, she grapples with unresolved grief over the death of her mother and the
family
scandal that changed the trajectory of her life. Heartfelt, candid, and witty, Grand is a story about
family
, identity, and struggling to make something of yourself.
Sara
deconstructs her struggles with anxiety and depression, what it means to be a good person, and the radically discordant stories we tell ourselves and share with the world"--Publisher.
