THE QUESTION No one in the small, claustrophobic town of West Wilmer can forget Phoebe Dean, their sweet, beloved golden girl. It’s been ten years since the car crash that tragically took her life, yet one question lingers: Why did it take her brother, Grant, twenty-seven minutes to call for help after the accident?

Weaving together family saga, gothic myth, and eco-fiction, Oil People is an audacious debut novel about history and family, land and power, and oil as both contaminant and an object of wonder.

For the last ten years, the small town of West Wilmer has been struggling to answer one question: on the night of the crash that killed his sister, why did it take Grant Dean twenty-seven minutes to call for help? If he'd called sooner, Phoebe might still be alive. As the anniversary of Phoebe's death approaches, Grant is consumed by his memories and the secret that's been suffocating him for years. But he and Phoebe weren't the only ones in the car that night. Becca was there too - she's the only other person who knows what really happened. Or is she?

Ferociously in love and in their own universe, Lydie and Nico’s first year together was so beautiful that they've been recreating it, day by day, ever since. The anniversaries, sometimes elaborate, sometimes small, become the couples' own internal logic, tethering them to a reality they've built together. But the real world is starting to creep in. As the people around them start to get married, get pregnant, get serious, Lydie wonders what it is they're really doing—and why it leaves her so little time to focus on what she moved to the city for: creating art.
