By turns terrifying and humorous, clear-eyed and deep-hearted

Twister brings us into the center of a storm as a small Midwestern town mourns the death of a young soldier. Rose, the soldier's fiercely independent mother, may or may not be losing her grip on reality, and we seek answers along with the constellation of family, friends, neighbors, and townspeople whose lives intertwine with hers.

Each new viewpoint calls up singular memories and intrigue, raising stakes while the twister gathers force. As the storm drives into the heart of town, secrets are illuminated, pasts are resurrected, and lives are shaken to the core.

An unforgettable debut from a keen observer and chronicler of nature, people, and the ineffable. Laura Kasischke says, “Genanne Walsh is a writer of extraordinary powers.”
