From the Publisher
Combining the unparalleled emotional impact of The Kite Runner with the epic scale of Where the Crawdads Sing, this astonishing debut novel tells a sweeping story of family, love, and a heartbreaking war that radically transforms all of its characters.
Rhiannon Navin's Only Child is a powerful exploration of the curtailment of innocence and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unspeakable tragedy. When a shooter opens fire on a elementary school classroom, young Zach watches in horror as events unfold that will change his life forever. In the devastating aftermath, Zach and his parents must find a way to navigate their grief and anger, their fear and hopelessness, and ultimately their hope. Only Child is a poignant, propulsive, and deeply moving story that will capture your heart and mind.
Narrated by Zach in the days and years that follow the shooting, this is an unforgettable portrait of one family's struggle to make sense of the senseless. As Zach grapples with his own survivor's guilt, his mother spirals into an abyss of grief and his father withdraws, struggling to protect what remains of their family. Told with compassion and keen insight, this is a story of the power of love, the gift of human resilience, and the courage it takes to forge a path forward when all seems lost.
Startlingly well-written, emotionally powerful, and incredibly timely, Only Child is a stunning achievement. With echoes of the Douglas Kennedy's The Big Picture and the emotional resonance of Emma Donoghue's Room, this is a remarkable debut that will haunt you long after the last page is turned. Readers who were moved by the humanity in All the Bright Places and the hopefulness in A Man Called Ove will find much to cherish in this unforgettable novel.
