The Joyner family sits atop prime Marcellus Shale. When landmen for the natural gas companies begin to lease property all around the familys hundred acres, the Joyners start to take notice. Undecided on whether or not to lease the family land, Frank Joyner must weigh his heirs competing motivations. All of this culminates as a looming history of family tragedy resurfaces. A sprawling family novel, Fractures follows each Joyner as the controversial hydrofracking issue slowly exacerbates underlying passions and demons. With echoes of Jonathan Franzens Freedom, Fractures takes its reader deep into the beating heart and hearth of a family divided.
