Every Last One

2010

by Anna Quindlen

Every Last One is a breathtaking and beautiful novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Anna Quindlen. In this unforgettable story, Quindlen creates a poignant portrait of a mother, a father, a family, and the explosive, violent consequences of what seem like inconsequential actions.

Mary Beth Latham has built her life around her family, caring for her three teenage children and preserving the rituals of their daily life. When one of her sons becomes depressed, Mary Beth focuses her attention on him, only to be blindsided by a shocking act of violence.

What unfolds is a testament to the power of a woman's love and determination, and to the invisible lines of hope and healing that connect one human being with another. Ultimately, Every Last One is a novel about facing every last one of the things we fear most, finding ways to navigate roads we never intended to travel, and living a life we never dreamed we'd have to live, but find ourselves brave enough to try.
