Twelve years after a tragic accident and a cover-up that led to prison time, Dwight Arno, at fifty, is a man who has started over without exactly moving on. Living alone in California, Dwight manages a sporting goods store and dates a woman to whom he hasn’t revealed the truth about his past. Then Sam, Dwight’s estranged college-age son, shows up without warning, fleeing a devastating incident in his own life. As the two men are forced to confront their similar natures and their half-buried hopes for connection, they must also search for redemption in their attempts to rewrite, outrun, or eradicate the past.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eNorthwest Corner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A great American novel.”\u003cb\u003e—Abraham Verghese\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“One of the most emotionally commanding novels of the year.\"\u003cb\u003e—NPR\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Exhilarating . . .
