A story of friendship, grit, and risking everything to change your life.
Dan and Tamma are in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a rebellious burnout. They find in each other exactly what they need, from a shared brand of humor to the conviction that a life without adventure is no kind of life. Climbing boulders in trash-strewn parking lots during cold desert nights, they seal their unique bond and dream of a different kind of future.
As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. Differences of class, talent, and prospects take on new importance; options dwindle, and Dan and Tamma’s decisions grow ever more consequential and perilous. It feels inevitable, finally, that something must give.
With a magnificent gift for nature writing and a joyful appreciation for the redemptive power of friendship, Gabriel Tallent gives readers a rollicking, adrenaline-filled, soul-searching novel about the pursuit of wild and awesome ambition and the longing to have more in one’s life.
