Don't Stop Snowing

A deeply personal and funny novel from the winner of the Ernest J. Gaines Award, about embracing one's own troubled self, demons and all. Perfect for readers of Percival Everett, Kevin Wilson, and Brandon Taylor's The Late Americans**.**

Fresh out of grad school in Michigan, on the brink of despair, directionless, David worries his parents. They don't know how to heal him. His doctor suggests that he needs to gain some perspective, and possibly a relocation would help. Maybe there is such a thing as a geographical cure?

Snowy, grey Buffalo is not the first place that comes to mind when you think of a curative place, but maybe time with his cousin Flip will help David to forget his own troubled past. But as it turns out, Flip's life and state of mind is even unsteadier than his own. Suddenly enlisted to take care of his cousin and to even fill in for him at his job, David falls into a new life and a new way of seeing the world. A world where, come to think of it, he doesn't mind the snow.

Don't Stop Snowing is a fresh and honest—and funny—story of the struggles we all face as we realize that we don't just inherit eye, hair, and skin color, but also the complicated psyches of our parents.
