Nixon is being impeached, his wife is leaving him, and his worldview is rapidly becoming outdated. His daughter, Daley, has spent the first eleven years of her life negotiating her parents' conflicting worlds: the liberal, socially committed realm of her mother and the conservative, decadent, liquor-soaked life of her father. But when they divorce, and Gardiner's basest impulses are unleashed, the chasm quickly widens and Daley is stretched thinly across it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs she reaches adulthood, Daley rejects the narrow world that nourished her father's fears and prejudices, and embarks on her own life-until he hits rock bottom. Lured home by the dream of getting her father sober, Daley risks everything she's found beyond him, including her new love, Jonathan, in an attempt to repair a trust broken years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLily King \u003c\/b\u003eis the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of six novels--\u003ci\u003eHeart the Lover\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWriters \u0026amp; Lovers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Euphoria\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFather of the Rain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe English Teacher\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Pleasing Hour\u003c\/i\u003e--as well as the story collection \u003ci\u003eFive Tuesdays in Winter\u003c\/i\u003e.
