Synopsis
Things I Didn't Do is an intimate and epic reckoning with the places and the people who shape our lives.
Ryder Mikkelson's life changed forever the day he fell from a loaded pack mule high in the Book Cliffs of eastern Utah. He was seven years old, and some things would never quite be the same. The way he walks. How he rides a horse. The way he looks at a family photograph. Even so, Ryder grows up surrounded by the love of friends and family, cultivating his talents and building a life he's proud of. But ghosts never fully depart. Years later, when Ryder's twin daughters return home from college with unsettling news, long-buried questions resurface, and Ryder must face truths he has spent a lifetime avoiding.
In writing both fiercely intimate and expansively lyrical, Anderson crafts a story of a man haunted by memory, grappling with identity, and undone by revelation.
