This is an historical work which contains fictional elements and characters. The focus is on a middle-aged man named Lucas Jarrett, who has just lost his wife of seventeen years and is trying to adjust to the pain and grief. He unwittingly puts himself in the midst of a greater collective grieving, which is the Oklahoma City bombing in April, 1995. As a career journalist as well as a native of metro Oklahoma City, Jarrett returns to the streets as a reporter to cover the bombing and its aftermath. He finds personal healing in the process of telling the stories of others' grief and pain. He finds himself re-bonding with his home state that he once couldn't wait to leave, then moves on with his life to Memphis to start a new chapter. Laden with some PTSD, however, he finds the road to peace and personal wholeness to be challenging. More than a third of the book describes the Oklahoma City bombing and its aftermath in detail.
