Rhys Kinnick has gone off the grid. At Thanksgiving a few years back, a fed-up Rhys punched his conspiracy-theorist son-in-law in the mouth, chucked his smartphone out a car window and fled for a cabin in the woods, with no one around except a pack of hungry raccoons.Now Kinnick’s old life is about to land right back on his crumbling doorstep. Can this failed husband and father track down his missing daughter and save his sweet, precocious grandchildren from the members of a dangerous militia?

"A warm, funny, loving novel... It's an American original."—Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Tom Lake

His short fiction, collected in The Angel of Rome and We Live in Water, has won the O. Henry Prize, the Pushcart Prize and appeared three times in Best American Short Stories.
