Drake rarely leaves her large, painfully empty house nearly a year after her husband?s death in a car crash. Everyone in town, even her best friend, Andy, thinks grief keeps her locked inside, and Evvie doesn?t correct them. Meanwhile, in New York City, Dean Tenney, former Major League pitcher and Andy?s childhood best friend, is wrestling with what miserable athletes living out their worst nightmares call the ?yips?: he can?t throw straight anymore, and, even worse, he can?t figure out why. As the media storm heats up, an invitation from Andy to stay in Maine seems like the perfect chance to hit the reset button on Dean?s future. When he moves into an apartment at the back of Evvie?s house, the two make a deal: Dean won?t ask about Evvie?s late husband, and Evvie won?t ask about Dean?s baseball career. Rules, though, have a funny way of being broken?and what starts as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something more. To move forward, Evvie and Dean will have to reckon with their pasts?the friendships they?ve damaged, the secrets they?ve kept?but in life, as in baseball, there?s always a chance?up until the last out.

He is a legendary Wall Street tycoon; she is the daughter of eccentric aristocrats. Together, they have risen to the very top of a world of seemingly endless wealth?all as a decade of excess and speculation draws to an end. But at what cost have they acquired their immense fortune? This is the mystery at the center of Bonds, a successful 1937 novel that all of New York seems to have read. Yet there are other versions of this tale of privilege and deceit.Hernan Diaz?s TRUST elegantly puts these competing narratives into conversation with one another?and in tension with the perspective of one woman bent on disentangling fact from fiction. The result is a novel that spans over a century and becomes more exhilarating with each new revelation. At once an immersive story and a brilliant literary puzzle, TRUST engages the reader in a quest for the truth while confronting the deceptions that often live at the heart of personal relationships, the reality-warping force of capital, and the ease with which power can manipulate facts.
