520    "From National Book Award finalist and "one of our most 
       gifted writers" (Chicago Tribune), Charles Baxter, a 
       timely and unsettling new novel about the people drawn to 
       and unmoored by a local activist group more dangerous than
       it appears. Brettigan's son, a once promising actor, has 
       gone missing, and despite the fact that his wife, Alma, 
       knows he left on purpose, she has been searching for him 
       all over the city. She checks the usual places, churches, 
       storefronts, and benches, and stumbles upon a local 
       community group with lofty goals and an enigmatic leader. 
       Christina, a young woman rapidly becoming addicted to a 
       boutique drug that gives her a feeling of blessedness, is 
       inexplicably drawn to the same collective by a man who's 
       convinced he's found direction, named Ludlow. As these 
       five characters cross paths, a story of guilt, anxiety, 
       and feverish hope unfolds in suburban, middle-class 
       Minneapolis. A send-up of modern American society and the 
       specters of its consumerism, fanaticism, and fear that 
       haunt it, The Sun Collective captures both the mystery and
       violence that punctuate our daily lives"--Provided by
