Groundskeeping by Lee Cole

Lee Cole has written a book for anyone who struggles with relationships, new and old. His protagonist faces imposter syndrome as his family’s politics and small-town constraints hinder him from realizing his goals as a young writer and threaten his relationship with a woman whose unique life experiences leave him feeling insecure. The novel pulls back the complicated layers of classism in a way that allows readers to develop an empathetic portrait of the fears that divide us as a nation.
