Summary
For twenty years, Celia Scott has watched her husband, Arthur, hide from the secrets surrounding his sister Eve's death. As a young man, Arthur fled his small Kansas hometown, moved to Detroit, married Celia, and never looked back. But when the 1967 riots frighten him more than his past, he and Celia pack up their family and return to the road he grew up on, Bent Road, and that same small town where Eve mysteriously died. While Arthur and their oldest daughter slip easily into rural life, Celia and the two younger children struggle to fit in; Daniel is counting on Kansas to make a man of him, since Detroit sure didn't; Evie, the youngest and small for her age, hopes she will finally grow; Celia grapples with loneliness and the brutality of life and death on a farm. When a local girl disappears, the family finds itself catapulted headlong into a dead man's curve
