Beschreibung

A Georgia businessman’s attempt to salvage his struggling marriage with a weekend getaway accidentally sends him on a survival adventure. Looking at John Callaway’s life from a distance, some might say that he’s “living the dream.” At the helm of a successful development company built by his father years before, business success follows him, and Atlanta society has been good to his family. But in a flash, ominous skies overtake the calm seas of his charmed world and threaten to capsize his life. Long past are the lazy summer days on the shores of Tybee Island, where everything was once so simple and pure, where he met the love of his life, Molly—the love that now seems to be slipping from his grasp.  John wants that simplicity again, but is he too far gone? Is there a way back? As the uncertainty of his fate unfolds in the wake of a shipwreck, he is forced to explore the deepest desires of his heart while racing against time and nature to save not only his own life—but also his family.

A "novel in stories" by Jen Knox, winner of the Prize Americana for Prose. 
"Set in Ohio and told from the point of view of a struggling single mother and her youngest daughter, Resolutions is a beautifully rendered, poignant, and earnest look at the modern American family. Jen Knox illustrates what we are capable of as daughters, sons, mothers, grandchildren, friends, and siblings—the roles we play, what we do to each other, what we owe each other, and how we carry on when we fail spectacularly. At the heart of this book is a fierce, loving voice that shines through in characters so real you ache for them. Knox has written an unforgettable account of a traumatized working-class family and how they continue to survive and love despite perpetual hardship." –Beth Gilstrap, I Am Barbarella: Stories  and Deadheading & Other Stories 
“So thoroughly immersive in prose and purpose. Like watching a series of plays on the most intimate of stages. Yet Jen Knox doesn’t rely on the trappings of ‘pretty’ writing. A story is only as good as its characters, and she’s created a vibrant, grounded world full of life and substance. A marvelously effective work—and an author to watch.” – Matt Joseph Misetich, Book Pipeline 
"Never predictable but always from the heart, Jen Knox's Resolutions will leave you feeling for her characters long after you've turned the last page."– Tanya Breshears, Curious Fictions
