Publisher's Synopsis
In the conclusion of the Lake Cycle, two years have passed since the death of Donovan's mother and the time of the Plague. Don, writing more than ever, but more than ever in search of gainful employment and re entry into the real world, wonders what's next, as does is goddaughter, May, who's fled her house and come to live at 812 Pine Street. Donovan Shorter, Cade Richards and Simon Barrow are getting married, and the simplest process in the world, when turned into a union of three, necessitates reinvention and calls into question commonly held thoughts. Living together, Javon and Pat Thomas's love deepens the present as they look into their pasts, and in Ely, Cade confronts the recent death of his father as well as a choice he made long ago. Simon is entangled in politics when he joins the campaign to put his friend and mentor Brendan Miller in City Hall as the first openly bare-chested and shade wearing mayor of Rossford, Indiana.
