Apologize, Apologize!: A Novel

This wild literary debut is set on the island of Martha's Vineyard among a wealthy, eccentric family. Collie's parents--an activist mother and a father who stopped caring about being faithful to her long ago--decided to name him after a dog, which can be a big problem for a kid who's just trying to grow up in peace. Unfortunately, when your grandfather is one of the most powerful media moguls in the country and your brother's trying to drag you into all kinds of trouble, peace isn't an option inside or out of the home. Elizabeth Kelly chronicles young Collie's quest for stability in a dysfunctional world with no clear moorings with humor and love.
