"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

"A trifecta of memorable players, convincing storytelling, and well-honed prose."
