Description
Jonathan Ascher's journals reveal a complex and tumultuous life. His widow Martha discovers them for the first time, uncovering secrets about her husband's past that challenge her own perceptions of him. As she delves deeper into his papers, she engages in a long-distance conversation with Jonathan, grappling with their troubled marriage and confronting the tragedy that destroyed their son. Through these journals, Mark Merlis offers a powerful and thought-provoking portrayal of a half century of American history, acted out by three individuals struggling to express their love for one another. This is a story about identity, politics, and the human condition, presented in a harrowing and unflinching way. A deeply personal and profoundly moving novel, JD explores the complexities of human relationships and the enduring power of love.
