This is such an emotional investment and if you enjoy Wally Lamb, this is another gut punch of family dynamics, trauma, and human empathy. A struggling father and husband allows his reckless behavior to end in tragedy which results in a prison sentence. While there, he realizes the brutal realization of the penal system as he seeks atonement and redemption for his actions. Another literary gem of thr human experience.
