Available Copies Details Synopsis

Half my life ago, I killed a girl. In this powerful, unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Darin Strauss recounts a tragedy and its aftermath. In his last month of high school, just after turning eighteen, Strauss is behind the wheel of his father�s Oldsmobile, driving with friends�having �thoughts of mini-golf, another thought of maybe just going to the beach.� Then out of the blue: a collision that results in the death of a bicycling classmate that shadows the rest of his life. In spare and piercing prose, Darin Strauss explores loss and guilt, maturity and accountability, hope and acceptance�and the result is a staggering, uplifting tour de force.
