In Will Allison's critically acclaimed <I>New York Times </I>bestseller, a happily married man makes a split-second decision that sends his life into a devastating tailspin. <P>Life can change in an instant because of one small mistake. For Glen Bauer, all it takes is a quick jerk of the steering wheel, an impulsive move intended to scare a reckless driver—not kill him. But when Glen realizes no one saw the deadly accident, he lies to the police, to his wife, even to his six-year-old daughter, Sara, who was in the backseat at the time of the crash. As his wife's panicked plan to save their family instead threatens to tear it apart, Glen can't help wondering: What if the accident wasn't really his fault? What if someone else were to blame? Struggling to understand the extent of his own culpability, Glen finds himself on yet another collision course, different in kind but with equally terrible potential. <P><I>Long Drive Home </I>is a stunning cautionary tale of unintended consequences that confirms Will Allison's reputation as a rising literary talent.
