Synopsis:

THE STUNNING NEW NOVEL FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF THE WORLD OF NORMAL BOYS K.M. Soehnlein returns with this exploration of the connection between father and son and the high price of truth. Jamie Garner has been cruising through life. A slacker of sorts, he's been just getting by, living in San Francisco and surrounded by fun-loving friends. Not a bad place to be during the dot-com boom of the 1990s. Then, Jamie's life changes forever and he is catapulted into a search to discover the truth about a man he thought he knew - a man named Teddy. His father. News of his father's death brings Jamie home. There - though Teddy never accepted Jamie - guilt and sadness threaten to overwhelm him. Then a cache of letters from Teddy to his closest friend, Dean Foster, lend new insights into his father's life stretching all the way back to Teddy's beat generation days in San Francisco. So begins Jamie's obsessive journey in search of Dean Foster, a quest that may cost him more than he's willing to venture.
