I’ll Come to You

Rebecca Kauffman

"Rebecca Kauffman writes like a sunbeam, strong and warm on whatever lands in her path. This book only looks short-in reality, it reveals a family so richly drawn, so deep and complex, that it contains the whole world." -Emma Straub

A modern and classic story of family, I'll Come to You chronicles intersecting lives over the course of one year-1995-anchored by the anticipation and arrival of a child. With empathy, insight, and humor, Rebecca Kauffman explores overlapping narratives involving a couple whose struggle to become pregnant has both softened and hardened them, a woman whose husband of forty years has left her for reasons he's unwilling to share and the man who is now disastrously attempting to woo her, a couple in denial about a looming health crisis, and their son who is fumbling toward middle age and can't stop lying. Ultimately, these storylines crescendo and converge into a dramatic and harrowing turn of events. With heart, wit, and courage, and through pain, these characters traverse territory that both challenges and defines the bonds of family.

Sweeping yet compact, I'll Come to You investigates themes of intimacy, memory, loss, grief, and reconciliation, and the wonder, terror, frustration, fear, and magic of brushing up against the unknowable-both around us and within us.
