New from Alan Govenar, Come Round Right is a deeply personal novel and a paean to a pivotal moment in American history--when the Vietnam War was raging, and the idealism of the 1960s was losing ground to frustration, anger, and violence.

Spring, 1971. Eighteen-year-old Aaron Berg is hitchhiking for his life, trying to come to terms with the sexual assault he and his new girlfriend survived in Canada five months earlier. Determined to reclaim his faith in humanity, Aaron's harrowing journey through Appalachia reveals newfound joys and an unexpected truth that changes his life.

Lyrical and poetic, juxtaposing Shaker melodies with a twangy sound and a heavy percussive beat, Come Round Right is at once a moving reckoning with the author's own trauma and an expansive novel that speaks to the most pressing issues of our time.
