In 1865, Lee Davison's brother went missing. He set out on his own to find him... and failed. And failed again, breaking the law and a few friendships along the way. Some years later, known as a plucky ex-convict-turned-detective with a crumbling young marriage, he comes face to face with reality: for life to change, it must first fall apart.

-

In which a young man writes to a lost loved one, confessing his darkest wrongs, recounting the blessed highs and tragic lows that shaped his life, and promising to find his way again.
