Flight Behavior

Enter the rural life of Dellarobia Turnbow, a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen. After a decade of domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she seeks momentary escape through an obsessive flirtation with a younger man. On a hike behind her house, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley filled with what looks like a lake of fire. As the community lines up to judge the woman and her miracle, Dellarobia confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed. Flight Behavior is a compelling novel that deftly dissects the motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world affected by climate change.
