520    "Kelly McMasters found herself in her midthirties living 
       her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from
       New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children 
       roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The 
       pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were 
       restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, 
       she was quietly plotting her escape.  In The Leaving 
       Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in 
       love and carving out a life in the city, the slow 
       dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, 
       and the complexities of making a new home for herself and 
       her children as a single parent. She delves into the 
       tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and 
       being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the 
       paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive.  
       Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through
       the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new 
       motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of 
       community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The 
       Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning."--
