I inhaled this book in a weekend. — Leslie Jamison
Bug Hollow is set in the summer of California, during the 1970s.
Sally Samuelson is eight years old and the course of her family's life is about to change.
When her golden-boy brother Ellis, just graduated from high school, drives up the coast with his two best friends, he promises to be back in a week. But he does not return.
After Ellis's unexpected death, the world of the Samuelsons never spins on the same axis again — especially after Julia, Ellis's girlfriend, shows up pregnant on their doorstep.
Over the next four decades, the family fractures and rebuilds, again and again. The story encompasses love affairs, illnesses, late-in-life marriages, and long-hidden secrets, illustrating how brief intimate connections and heart-shattering losses can reverberate through generations.
