<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Nicholas and his wife April live in a remote cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains with their four-year-old son, Jack. They keep their families at a distance, rejecting what their loved ones think of as "normal." In the early hours of a Wednesday morning, they are driving home from a party when their car crashes on a deserted road and they are killed. As the couple's grieving relatives descend on the family home, they are forced to decide who will care for the child Nicholas and April left behind. Nicholas's brother, Nathaniel, and his wife Stephanie feel entirely unready to be parents, but his mother and father have issues of their own. And April's mother, Tammy, is driving across the country to claim her grandson. Experiencing a few traumatic days in the minds of each family member, Alan Rossi's <i>Mountain Road, Late at Night </i>is a taut, nuanced, and breathtaking look at what we do when everything goes wrong, and the frightening fact that life carries on, regardless. It is a gripping, affecting, and extremely accomplished debut.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"One to watch in 2020." --<i>Irish Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alan Rossi </b>is a writer whose work has appeared in <i>Granta</i>, the <i>Atlantic</i>, <i>Missouri Review</i>, <i>Conjunctions</i>, <i>Agni</i>, and <i>Ninth Letter</i>.
