โœฆ Synopsis


Fifteen-year-old Ian Daly's moral universe is turned upside down when, at this father's funeral, he discovers that his father had two secret families.

"Cassidy's engrossing debut...convincingly depicts the ways his sensitive, turbulent protagonist navigates the murky period between adolescence and adulthood. Cassidy's distinctive coming-of-age story will move readers."
--Publishers Weekly

"Keenly observed and beautifully written, Mckenzie Cassidy's Here Lies a Father follows a blue-collar Holden Caulfield through a weekend odyssey of family secrets, lies, and revelations. It's a novel for anyone who has ever wondered about their parents' pasts--I couldn't put it down."
--Sara Pritchard, author of Help Wanted: Female

"A marvelous read, full of surprises, home truths, and excellent prose. Mckenzie Cassidy has joined the illustrious ranks of Ivan Turgenev and his classic Fathers and Sons."
--John Bowers,...
