What is Oliver Loving: A Novel about?

From a celebrated literary talent comes a brilliant, propulsive novel about family, the traumas and secrets that test our deepest bonds, and the stories that hold us together. One warm, West Texas November night, a shy boy named Oliver Loving joins his classmates at Bliss County Day Schools 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 schools 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 Olivers hospital bed is a family transformed: Olivers mother, Eve, who keeps desperate vigil; Olivers brother, Charlie, who has fled for New York City only to discover he cannot escape the gravity of his shattered family; Olivers father, Jed, who tries to erase his memories with bourbon. And then there is Rebekkah Sterling, Olivers teenage love, who left Texas long ago and still refuses to speak about
