Synopsis
Carrie Bell has led a remarkably stable existence in her Wisconsin home town: life is good and, perhaps more important, life doesn't change. Then her longtime fiancé is involved in an accident that leaves him paralyzed, and not only Carrie's life but her way of thinking about it changes drastically, and she knows that what she needs is to escape the future that threatens to trap her forever. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Industry Reviews
"[T]here's not a false note in the story's tentative resolution, which thwarts our initial expectations in order to satisfy more complex demands. Lucid prose limns complicated people....Very find fiction indeed."
Kirkus Reviews (01/01/2002)
"This is a densely enveloping book, presented with uncommon assurance for a debut novelist....And it succeeds in raising profound moral issues within the context of ordinary life....[D]etailed realism is fused with something else: the question of whether one is 'an accumulation of past, or made new over and over again.' By the time her book reaches its deeply satisfying resolution, Ms. Packer has provided an answer."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (04/11/2002)
"The journey is a familiar one, but Packer fleshes it out with a naturalist's vigilance for detail, so that her characters seem observed rather than invented...."
New Yorker (05/22/2002)
