Landslide by Susan Conley

Documentary filmmaker Jill is finding it hard to cope in Maine after her husband, Kit (a commercial fisherman), is seriously injured in an accident  while he was away working in Nova Scotia. Jill and Kit have two teenage boys--Charlie and Sam. Sam is particularly struggling right now, since losing his best friend, Liam, two years ago in an accident on a bridge while Sam was present. His father's injury has Sam feeling even more unmoored. As a mother and wife, Jill, is grappling with raising her sons on her own and confronting the fact that Kit might have been unfaithful to her while in Canada. Landslide explores Jill's sense of self, looking back on her life and forward to her family's future.
