After being downsized -- displaced -- laid off -- whatever you want to call it -- Ryan is looking for work while staying with his artist sister Natalie, her dentist/cappuccino aficionado husband Phil, and their tablet-wielding, always curious son Harrison. And though Natalie and Phil may be his peers, it's Harrison with home Ryan bonds as they explore kitchen-sink science experiments and Blitzkrieg Bop.
Natalie's nomination for a prestigious art award will send Ryan and Harrison on a unique road trip to acquire horse parts -- and Harrison's best shot at a great Show-and-Tell.
"One of Earls's strengths as a writer of fiction is his sharp observation of domestic detail; -another is his keen awareness of how our cultural life intermingles with the quotidian reality of family routine. Earls is astute in describing the parallel worlds inhabited by middle-aged parents and their young children." - The Australian
"You can't write better than this. It's simply perfect." - Elizabeth Gilbert (Big Magic, Eat Pray Love on Gotham)
Genre: Literary Fiction
