Say Nice Things About Detroit: A Novel

A novel about second chances from a writer of "stirring, poignant, and profound" work (Wally Lamb).
Twenty-five years after his high school graduation, David Halpert returns to a place that most people flee. But David is making his own escapeâ‚¬â€¢from his divorce and the death of his son. In Detroit, David learns about the double shooting of his high school girlfriend Natalie and her black half-brother, Dirk. As David becomes involved with Natalieâ‚¬s sister, he will discover that both he and his hometown have reasons to hope.

As compelling an urban portrait as The Wire and a touching love story, Say Nice Things About Detroit takes place in a racially polarized, economically collapsing city that doesn't seem like a place for rebirth. But as David tries to make sense of the mystery behind Natalieâ‚¬s death and puts back the pieces of his own life, he is forced to answer a simple question: if you want to go home again, what do you do if home is Detroit?
