Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Descendantsâa âfunny, insightful, and unsentimentalâ (People, 4 stars) novel about a grieving mother and the shocking surprise that may help her reclaim her hold on life.
In the idyllic ski town of Breckenridge, Colorado, Sarah St. John is reeling. Three months ago, her twenty-two-year-old son, Cully, died in an avalanche. Sarahâs father, a retiree, tries to distract her from her grief with gadgets from the home shopping channel. Sarahâs best friend offers life advice by venting details of her own messy divorce. Even Cullyâs father reemerges, stirring more emotions and confusion than Sarah needs. But Sarah feels she is facing the stages of griefâthe anger, the sadness, the letting goâalone; she desperately wants to hear the swoosh of her sonâs ski pants, or watch him skateboard past her window. And one day a strange girl arrives on her doorstep. Unexpected and unexplained, she bears a secret from Cully that could change all of their lives forever.
With wry wit and intuition, Kaui Hart Hemmings highlights the subtle poignancies of grief and relationships in this stunning look at people faced with impossible choices. Called âsurprisingly entertainingâ (The New York Times Book Review) and âfamiliar yet richly, astutely observant and reflectiveâ (The Boston Globe), The Possibilities brilliantly portrays tragic ineffability with grace and hope.
