Reviews
Praise for Friendswood "Masterfully observed." - O, The Oprah Magazine "Steinke's sensitive exploration of tangled human connections reminds us that love and friendship will go a long way toward seeing us through our trials." - Los Angeles Times "Spectacular . . . Like a painter, Steinke draws stunning scenes of small town Texas life: Ranch houses. Friday night football games. Church fundraisers. Like Sherwood, Ohio , or Sinclair Lewis's Main Street, Friendswood is also a vision of modern American life." -Patrik Henry Bass, NY1

Synopsis
A big, moving, critically acclaimed novel of one tight-knit Texas community and the events that alter its residents' lives forever. Friendswood, Texas, is a small Gulf Coast town of church suppers, high school football games , oil rigs on the horizon, and hurricane weather. When tragedy rears its head with an industrial leak that kills and sickens residents, it pulls on the common thread that runs through the community, intensifying everything. From a confused fifteen-year-old girl beset by visions, to a high school football star tormented by his actions, to a mother galvanized by the death of her teen daughter, to a morally bankrupt father trying to survive his mistakes, Rene Steinke explores what happens when families are trapped in the ambiguity of history's missteps-when the actions of a few change the lives and well-being of many. Driving the narrative powerfully forward is the suspenseful question of the fates of four Friendswood families, and Steinke's striking insight and empathy. Inspired in part by the town where she herself grew up, this layered, propulsive, psychologically complex story brings to vivid life a tight-knit Texas community and the events that alter its residents' lives forever., A big, moving, critically acclaimed novel of one tight-knit Texas community and the events that alter its residents' lives forever.
