In the End

In the End is a powerful and poignant reminder of the beauty of resilience, perfect for readers who enjoyed the introspective sincerity of Emma Straub's All Adults Here and the moving examination of tangled relationships in Joanne Tompkins's What Comes After. Erin McLain lost herself somewhere along the way-motherhood, caretaking, the busyness of life. But she didn't just lose herself, she lost her love, her hope, her reasons for existing. Her husband might not love her anymore, and she might not be able to forgive him for his failures. Her children are growing up. Should she leave or stay? Who is she now? Who does she want to be? When a tragedy knocks the McLain family into a new realm of existence, Erin and her husband are forced to consider old skeletons in closets, the disappointments of years, and just what they'll do to forgive, hope, and heal-and become exactly the people they were meant to be. With poetry at its core, In the End offers a meditation on what it means to be a woman, what it means to find yourself after you've lost the most essential pieces, and what it means to be a family, surviving the impossible together.
