From the New York Times best-selling author of City on Fire, an intimate epic that plunges us deep into the lives of a teenage girl and her father as they navigate love, grief, betrayal, and redemption

"Beautiful and daring." --Nathan Hill, author of Oprah's Book Club pick Wellness

"Breathtaking." --Christina Baker Kline, author of #1 New York Times best seller Orphan Train

When thirteen-year-old Jolie Aspern drops her phone onto the subway tracks in 2011, her estranged dad, Ethan, seems like the furthest thing from her mind. A convicted felon and recovering addict, Ethan has long struggled to see beyond himself. But then a call from New York makes him fear his daughter's in deeper trouble than anyone realizes. And believing he's the only one who can save her, he decides to return home.

So begins the journey that will, in time, push Jolie and Ethan--child and adult, apart and together, different yet the same--out past their depths.

Full of yearning and revelation, The Second Coming is at once an incandescent feat of storytelling and an exploration of an enduring mystery: Can the people we love ever really change?
