This is probably the best book that I have read this year, perhaps in several years. It chronicles the development of a family simultaneously with Cal. It pulls you along, at first, like a car wreck ahead of you on the highway might, waiting for Cal to arrive (in more ways than one). There is no disappointment with the culmination of this tightly told story and the last 100 pages pull you along effortlessly and leave you wishing there were 100 more.
