Hannah Tinti - The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley (Corte Madera)

Loo is twelve when she moves back to the New England fishing village of her early youth. Her father, Hawley, finds work on the docks, while she undergoes the usual heartaches of a new kid in school. But lurking over Loo are mysteries, both of the mother who passed away, of the grandmother she’s forbidden to speak to. And hurtling towards both father and daughter are the ghosts of Hawley’s past. Before Loo’s birth, he was a professional criminal engaged in increasingly elaborate and dangerous underworld schemes. Life on the road was harsh—Samuel Hawley took twelve bullets in his brutal career. The scars have healed, but there is a reckoning still to come. The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley is a novel about what it means to be a hero, and the cost we pay to protect the people we love most.

Hannah Tinti grew up in Salem, Massachusetts. Her short story collection, Animal Crackers, has been sold in sixteen countries and was a runner up for the PEN/Hemingway Award. Her debut novel, The Good Thief, won the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and an American Library Association Alex Award. She is the cofounder and editor-in-chief of One Story magazine, for which she won the PEN/Nora Magid Award for editorial excellence.
