Book synopsis
Jacob Finch Bonner was once a promising young novelist, but his career has stalled into a bleak cycle of professional rejection and uninspired teaching. Now serving as a faculty member at a low-residency MFA program in Vermont, he spends his days fostering the dreams of amateurs while harboring deep resentment for his own lost potential. However, among a fresh batch of student manuscripts lies a story so perfect and a plot so ingenious that it could change everything. Jacob is about to discover that some stories are worth more than just a career—they might be worth his soul.
