"Only national treasure Steven Rowley could blur the otherworldly with the everyday and turn all of it into heartache-flavored comedy." āCatherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich and Wreck
We are all alien, even to the people who know us best.
College professor Jesse del Ruth has been abandoned. Thirty years into their relationship, Jesse witnesses his husband, Norman, get out of bed late one night, walk into their Joshua Tree backyard, step into a strange beam of light and ⦠disappear. How could Norman desert him after a lifetime together? Where did he go? And, most confoundingly ⦠will he ever return? Jesse knew they were both feeling stuck, longing for something they couldnāt quite name. But was their rut so deep that Normanās only option was to leave Jesse behind?
As Jesse struggles to understand Normanās disappearance, he tries to piece together his new reality. Is he expected to wait patiently for a partner who may never come back? Or is this an opportunity for reinvention? He is, after all, alone for the first time in his adult life. Should he return to the classroom? Put in a pool? Get a dog? Call his estranged mother? What does it mean to be alone when youāve always been one half of a whole?
When Normanās sister, Lally, lands on Jesseās doorstep with an urgent request, Normanās absence becomes even more profound. Add to Jesseās grief and confusion a conspiracy-theorist neighbor, a strange man following him, and suspicions that he may have had a hand in Normanās disappearance, and Jesse starts to crack under the pressure. With his husband missing and the world closing in, all eyes are on Jesse. Before he can understand how Norman could leave it all behind, Jesse must confront what it means to stay.
In Take Me With You, Steven Rowley brings his resonant wit and emotional insight to an epic love storyāan exploration of the forces that draw two people into the same orbit and the gravity that threatens to pull them apart.
