Evenings on the prairie are relatively quiet for Peg, a recently widowed woman in rural Wisconsin who still cooks for two. Which doesn\'t go to waste whenever Ryan, a dear friend with a troubled past, pays her a visit. However, after noticing her husband\'s toolbox is missing, she places a call to the local authorities-- unwittingly setting off a series of events that will forever reverberate through the small community. In a divided country where the lines separating family, friend, and foe have been further blurred in the wake of a global pandemic, Tony Award winner Robert Falls and Pulitzer Prize finalist Rebecca Gilman masterfully untangle a complex, humanistic yarn the Chicago Sun-Times calls \"an engrossing work of intense melancholy, filled with sympathy for its characters, and for the country.\"
