Synopsis
He handed me a piece of a tree.
The last time I saw my father alive, he gave me a slice of hickory with eight words burned into it. It took me years to understand that it was a warning, a confession, and a goodbye, all at once.
She had been married seven times before she found him.
A real estate broker with a Volvo, a spotless house, and a real gift for finding whatever you had hidden. For thirty years she ran a family the way she ran a listing — staged, priced, and moved. And when the man at the center of it started to disappear, she closed the door and sold what was left.
This is a son’s account of growing up inside a model home. Of two brothers who chose opposite strategies and both lost. Of a quiet man who could not say no to his wife, but who found one perfect way to say goodbye to his sons.
It is funny the way a wake is funny. It is honest the way only a man with nothing left to protect can be honest.
INSIDE
- Four parts, twenty-three chapters, a prologue and an epilogue — assembled and taken apart in the order it happened
- The rules of the model home, and what each brother did with them
- What it costs to be the son who stayed, and the son who left
- The hickory plaque, the eight words, and the years it took to read them right
