"A stunning, unforgettable, and deeply American novel."—Julia Phillips, author of Bear and National Book Award finalist Disappearing Earth"
A heart-wrenching coming-of-age debut novel by a stunning new voice in fiction, for fans of Barbara Kingsolver and Ann Patchett.
In the farm country outside Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan—a border town where life moves slow and dreams run fast—most kids want out. Not Everett Lindt. He’s set on staying put, rebuilding his family’s sheep farm, and carving a future from the land he loves. Then he meets Mary, a new girl in town with restless energy and bigger plans. When she discovers she's pregnant, Everett sees a life together; Mary, however, is desperate to find a way out. Together, they make an impulsive choice—one that could change everything.
Tense, lyrical, and deeply felt, Sara Maurer's unforgettable debut breathtakingly captures the ache of first love, the beauty and brutality of rural life, and how one decision can echo through generations and shape who we become.

"An aching, exquisite story of young love, curtailed by a country where our freedoms have to be bought, A Good Animal is a stunning, unforgettable, and deeply American novel. It is about sex and strength and hard, satisfying work; about dreams and opportunities and what we lose, have lost, are still losing. It’s about where we come from, where we’re going, and who breaks our hearts along the way."—Julia Phillips, author of Bear and National Book Award finalist Disappearing Earth
"A gorgeous waltz of a novel, written with great tenderness for the rural ways of life and insight into the human condition."—Jung Yun, author of O Beautiful and Shelter
"From the first sentence of her debut novel, Sara Maurer transports us to picturesque Sault Ste. Marie, where the rural way of life feels frozen in time. Everett Lindt is certain of his future there, even after he meets a new girl in town with big dreams. With pitch perfect prose, Maurer captures the intensity of Everett’s first love, and the haunting mistakes he makes despite his good intentions."—Tracey Lange, New York Times bestselling author of We Are the Brennans
