In THE MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART, a year has passed since Dan and Sarah lost their four-year-old son in a car accident-one Sarah caused. Dan spends each dawn running through the streets of Missoula, pounding the pavement in an effort to outrun the grief, guilt, and fierce love that have knotted themselves inside him. He wants to be the strong one, the forgiving one, but every attempt to soothe Sarah falls apart, and lately he's shocked to realize he's noticing an attractive young colleague at work, a sign of how far off-center he's drifted. Set against the rugged landscape of Missoula, Montana, this novella is an intimate exploration of grief, marriage, and the brutal, bewildering work of forgiveness. A 2019 Finalist for the Clay Reynolds Novella Prize and a 2020 Honorable Mention for the Landmark Prize for Fiction, the book also appeared in excerpt in The Windhover in 2021.
