 dazzling debut that asks: Can a name shape the course of a life? In the wa
 ke of an enormous\, history-making storm\, Cora sets off with her nine-yea
 r-old daughter\, Maia\, to register her son's birth. Her husband Gordon\, 
 a local doctor\, respected in the community but a terrifying and controlli
 ng presence at home\, intends for her to follow his family tradition going
  back generations\, and name the child Gordon. But on the journey there\, 
 Cora wonders if it's right to impose the burden of this name and its legac
 y onto her tiny newborn son. She herself has Julian in mind\, and Maia off
 ers up her own suggestion: Bear. What follows are three alternate and alte
 rnating versions of both Cora's life and her young son's life shaped by he
 r brave\, last-minute choice of name. Spanning thirty-five years\, the nov
 el draws us in from the first page\, as we follow three unforgettable jour
 neys of one young man\, but also his mother\, grandmother\, and sister. In
  richly layered prose\, The Names explores the painful ripple effects of d
 omestic abuse\, the messy ties of family\, and the possibilities of autono
 my and healing. With exceptional sensitivity and depth\, Knapp draws us in
 to the story of one family told through a prism of what-ifs\, and shows us
  what we each can do with the "one precious life" we are given. The Names'
 s brilliantly imaginative structure and storytelling\, and the emotional\,
  gut-wrenching power of the book itself\, are certain to make it a modern 
 classic."-- Provided by publisher.</p>\nhttps://slcls.libnet.info/event/17
