Stephanie Cowell, American Book Award recipient, author of

and
The Boy in the Rain
Told in alternating points of view,
The Proprietor’s Song
follows Innkeeper Stanley Uribe, tucked high up in California’s Sierras, as he tries to unravel the mysterious death of his sister Lorna, and Grace and Elwood Fisher, a comfortable, middle-aged couple from the Bay Area,
who return every year
to Death Valley where their son Jared disappeared over spring break. At its core,
is a novel about devastating grief and renewed hope, all set among some of California’s most remote and haunting landscapes.
