Cal's wife, Becky, has a spiritual gift: She is a seer who can conjure the dead, helping families connect with those they've lost. Margaret's husband, Felix, is serving on a Navy cargo ship, out of harm's way--until a telegram suggests that the unthinkable might have happened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLater, as the country reconstructs in the postwar boom, a secret grows in Bonhomie--but nothing stays buried forever in a small town. Against the backdrop of some of the most transformative decades in modern America, the consequences of that long-ago encounter ripple through the next generation of both families, compelling them to reexamine who they thought they were and what the future might hold. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSweeping yet intimate, rich with piercing observation and the warmth that comes from profound understanding of the human spirit, \u003ci\u003eBuckeye\u003c\/i\u003e captures the universal longing for love and for goodness.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Ryan \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the story collections \u003ci\u003eThe Dream Life of Astronauts\u003c\/i\u003e (named one of the Best Books of the Year by the \u003ci\u003eSt. Louis Times-Dispatch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiterary Hub\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRefinery29\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eElectric Literature\u003c\/i\u003e, and longlisted for The Story Prize) and \u003ci\u003eSend Me\u003c\/i\u003e.
