Description

Two children grow up on opposite porches of a small lake town. At twelve, they carve a promise into the wood of a dock. It becomes something they will spend the rest of their lives trying to keep.

Across the Street is a debut literary novel about first loves, silences that last for years, and the patient work of coming home to the people we thought we had lost. Told in dual POV across decades, it is a quiet, character-driven story of grief, forgiveness, and the kind of reconciliation that can only be asked for.

For readers of Ann Napolitano's Hello Beautiful, Ann Patchett's Tom Lake, and William Kent Krueger's Ordinary Grace.

Content notes: grief and loss, addiction and recovery.
