"In her most ambitious novel to date, New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard takes on the topography of the heart - a landscape of grief, reconciliation, forgiveness, and the way the mistakes of parents are passed down through generations, to fester, or to be healed"--

Journalist and novelist Joyce Maynard writes about her extraordinary life, including the story of her year-long love affair with the author of The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger. At the time of their relationship, she was 18, Salinger was 53.

"From the New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day and The Good Daughters comes a new novel of family, friendship, and suspense"--

After her husband's death, Eleanor returns to her New Hampshire farm to care for their brain-injured son while facing family tensions, personal struggles and national events, in the follow-up to Count the Ways.

From the author of To Die For comes this poignant, stirring, and occasionally hilarious story of a woman's attempt to remake her life after a searing divorce. Maynard's novel captures love as one approaches middle age in contemporary America.
