X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>See below for a summary from <strong><a hr
 ef="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217245618-the-names?ref=nav_sb_ss_
 3_9">Goodreads.com</a></strong><strong>:</strong></p>\n<p><em>In the wake 
 of a catastrophic storm\, Cora sets off with her nine-year-old daughter\, 
 Maia\, to register the birth of her son. Her husband\, Gordon\, respected 
 in the community but a controlling presence at home\, intends for her to f
 ollow a long-standing family tradition and name the baby after him. But wh
 en faced with the decision\, Cora hesitates....</em></p>\n<p><em>Spanning 
 thirty-five years\, what follows are three alternate and alternating versi
 ons of their lives\, shaped by Cora's last-minute choice of name. In richl
 y layered prose\,&nbsp\;The Names&nbsp\;explores the painful ripple effect
 s of domestic abuse\, the messy ties of family\, and the possibilities for
  autonomy and healing.</em></p>\n<p><em>Through a prism of what-ifs\, Flor
 ence Knapp invites us to consider the "one ... precious life" we are given
 . Full of hope\, this is the story of three names\, three versions of a li
 fe\, and the infinite possibilities that a single decision can spark. It i
 s the story of one family and love's endless capacity to endure\, no matte
 r what fate has in store.</em></p>\n<p>-----------------------------------
