2024 BEST INDIE BOOK AWARD WINNER"A lovely meditation on how families are formed within hostile landscapes. Wagner is a talented stylist..." - The Washington PostGina DeMillo Wagner's brother Alan had a rare genetic disorder that caused him to veer from loving to violent. When Alan died suddenly, Gina was pulled away from the safety of her adult life and thrust back into a family she has been estranged from for nearly ten years. FORCES OF NATURE follows this rewinding of the past, Gina's caregiving journey and reckoning with complicated grief, plus Alan's Christmas-themed funeral, and an investigation into his cause of death. It's a personal story that asks universal questions: How much of ourselves should we sacrifice to those we love? And, what forces shape our sense of family and home?
