Before her first novel, THE CENTER OF WINTER, Marya Hornbacher wrote the bestselling memoir WASTED, about her struggles with anorexia and bulimia. Now, in fiction, Hornbacher turns to the story of a troubled family trying to make it through a frigid Minnesota winter in the aftermath of the suicide of the husband and father. Narrated in turn by Claire, the bewildered widow, and her children, disturbed Esau and precocious little Katie, the story documents the trauma of the event and the desperation with which those involved try to recover.
