—SENATOR TIM KAINE
"Ominous, gripping . . . beautifully observed and cleverly structured . . . A thoughtful and provocative journey into the dark, bloody heart of American lunacy."
—DAN CHAON, National Book Award finalist and New York Times bestselling author of Sleepwalk
"A pulsating literary thriller."
—Washington Independent Review of Books
Several years after the bitter dissolution of the Becker family, Richard and Solomon—father and son—die on the same day. Shortly after returning home and still unaware of the violence ahead of them, Naomi and her mother Ruth travel across the country to collect the remains of both men and reckon with the legacies they left behind. Along the way, they discover secrets about their family and each other, and soon encounter the dangerous and paranoid militia extremists with whom Solomon—along with an old childhood friend, Andrew Cook—had become entangled. As violent forces collide, Naomi, Ruth, and Andrew are forced to reckon with their pasts and their place in an increasingly dangerous world.
"The story is heartbreaking but the message is powerful in this moving and beautifully written novel."
—SINDYA BHANOO, author of Seeking Fortune Elsewhere, finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize
"Reminiscent of writers as varied as Tim O'Brien, Jesmyn Ward, and even Faulkner . . . Gloria Patri simply brims with energy and fierce, evocative intelligence. Not a book you'll soon forget."
—DANIEL TORDAY, two-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award and author of The 12th Commandment”
