A rich, deeply satisfying debut novel about the desire to live fully and the conflict between who we want to be to others and who we must be for ourselves.
'The Dive From Clausen's Pier' will speak to all those who have ever thought about leaving when they knew they should stay, anyone who has ever felt trapped, not only but circumstance, but by the strength of their own love.
Carrie Bell was born and raised in Wisconsin. She's had the same best fiend, the same good relationship with her mother, and the same boyfriend for as long as anyone can remember. She is already quietly bored with Mike when there is a tragic accident at Clausen's reservoir.
Everyone thinks they know what Carrie will - and ought to - do. But Carrie is caught in a maze of moral dilemmas and is forced to question everything she thought she knew about herself. It is a moment of terrifying confusion, but also of mesmerising possibility.
