Synopsis
Evan is 31 years old, and he's drifting; playing in a local band and teaching middle aged men to coax music from an electric guitar is hardly exciting. His deepest secret is that he got his girlfriend pregnant before her conservative parents whisked her out of Seattle and out of Evan's life. Now, 14 years later he experiences parenthood for the first time when he undertakes to raise the resentful teenage son he's never known. Offbeat and disarming, How Evan Broke His Head And Other Secrets portrays a contemporary American family with unfailing honesty.

Praise for How Evan Broke His Head
A BookSense pick * Winner of a Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award "A funny, bewitching, observant book about families, fathers and sons, and growing up, no matter how old you are."--The Oregonian "A beautifully un-shiny novel of passion, forgiveness and the life force that is fatherhood."
--PNBA Awards Committee "Captivating, moving, and always observant ... a wonderful, beautiful book; I will never forget it!"
--Ben Sherwood, author of The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud "A compelling tale."
--Seattle Post-Intelligencer "An engrossing family drama."
--Publishers Weekly "Hits all the frets of a powerful story: sharp-witted dialogue, vivid characters, insight into medical challenges and prose that snaps like well-placed plucks of guitar strings. . . . I hold up my lighter and turn it full-flame for Stein's latest work. Encore!"
--The Seattle Times
