About Baker Vaughan
The ways grief affects you don’t always end in healing…
In the winter of 1985, Baker Vaughan is in his second year at Yale seminary when he loses his wife—his partner, the person who made the future he’d planned worth having. Suddenly, everything crumbles. He has nothing left of the life that was supposed to be. Only pain, only emptiness, only the possibility of rebuilding, and he runs away from it all.
By 2011, Baker has made himself a successful yet empty corporate career on Madison Avenue. He is a man haunted by his past and unwilling to face it, unable to confront who he sees in the mirror; he doesn’t even recognize who that is. Being cuckolded in the New York Post forces him to flee.
He finds a fresh start in Idaho, joining a small community in hopes of reclaiming some part of what he once wanted. But no path of destruction comes to an end so neatly. In a tangle of scandal, clashing instincts, and moral discord, Baker must face what he’s been running from all these years or lose his last chance at becoming whole again.
Baker Vaughan is a story about what tragedy leaves behind, what you do with what’s left, and who you choose to be when the biggest broken piece is you.
