Mary and O'Neil A Novel in Stories

Justin Cronin's poignant debut is a novel in stories that traces the lives of Mary and O'Neil, two vulnerable young teachers who rediscover in each other a world alive with promise and hope. The book illuminates the moments of grace that enable them to make peace with deep emotional legacies as they move from their early adulthood into marriage, parenthood, and beyond. They are like any other couple, having survived loss and found love. Each human life is ever changing, born of moments large and small—births and deaths and weddings, grave mistakes and acts of surprising courage—and this unforgettable book makes vivid how those moments connect us all, making us more than we could ever be on our own. Alight with nuance and wisdom, the book celebrates the uncommon grace to be found in common lives.
