by Rebecca Kauffman (Author)

A group of childhood friends reunites after tragedy strikes one of their own in this "riveting portrayal of the joys and mysteries of growing up, and of friendship itself"--with echoes of Freaks and Geeks and The Big Chill (People).

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: O, The Oprah Magazine - Entertainment Weekly - Southern Living - Huffington Post - Esquire - Book Riot - Harper's Bazaar - NYLON - Real Simple

Following her wonderfully received first novel, Another Place You've Never Been, Rebecca Kauffman returns with Mikey Callahan, a thirty-year-old who is suffering from the clouded vision of macular degeneration. He struggles to establish human connections--even his emotional life is a blur.

As the novel begins, he is reconnecting with "The Gunners," his group of childhood friends, after one of their members has committed suicide. Sally had distanced herself from all of them before ending her life, and she died harboring secrets about the group and its individuals. Mikey especially needs to confront dark secrets about his own past and his father. How much of this darkness accounts for the emotional stupor Mikey is suffering from as he reaches his maturity? And can The Gunners, prompted by Sally's death, find their way to a new day? The core of this adventure, made by Mikey, Alice, Lynn, Jimmy, and Sam, becomes a search for the core of truth, friendship, and forgiveness.

A quietly startling, beautiful book, The Gunners engages us with vividly unforgettable characters, and advances Rebecca Kauffman's place as one of the most important young writers of her generation.
