Advance Praise
Brooke Adams Law’s Catchlight is a beautiful, moving novel of a family in transition, struggling with loss and disease and addiction, but also with new possibilities for redemption and renewal and love. Law steadily draws the reader in to the complex and closely observed emotional ties that bind brothers and sisters together, as well as those that keep them separate. She asks us whether we can find joy in the midst of grief, and whether we can make art out of pain, and then she shows us how that is done.
— Phil Klay, author, Redeployment, 2014 National Book Award Winner, Fiction

Josephine L, Reviewer
Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this novel.
This book is the story of four siblings who come together after their mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. The characters are very well developed and the plot moves at a very quick and consistent clip... no dull moments here. My only complaint would be about some unbelievable or convenient plot elements but really the book just moves along at a quick and satisfying pace. I loved it and will definitely keep an eye out for Ms. Law's next book!
