ABOUT THE BOOK
Cassandra Soelberg, pregnant at seventeen, was cast out of her community by religious leaders. Returning to her rural Utah hometown after nearly forty years to care for her senile mother, she meets a young man with an uncanny resemblance to the father of the child she was forced to give up for adoption. Drawn back into traumatic scenes of young adulthood, she must reconcile with her past in the fiercely beautiful landscapes that shaped her. What Falls Away is a stunning novel about family, art, and the raw process of healing.

“A powerful novel that will resonate with anyone who has returned to a place they no longer recognize as home.”
—KIRKUS REVIEWS

“Sharp, poetic prose… her story commands attention.”
— FOREWORD REVIEWS

“Anderson brings us a vision of what family and redemption can and should look like, if we get real, as real as the desert demands that we be. Outstanding.”
—JOANNA BROOKS, author of Book of Mormon Girl
