Jackie Gould's third novel based on family history is both sweeping and intimate. It is the story of Jennifer, a young woman who returns to her hometown to help her Aunt Bessie pack up her things and move. Jenny finds more than the simple visit home she'd imagined. Aunt Bessie's antique collection of rolling pins starts her on a journey of discovery that she had not planned taking. Each rolling pin has a story: of an honor-bound teenage sailor in World War II; of a family man who volunteered his life for the Civil War; of Aunt Bessie herself, whose own long life has been filled with love, joy, heartbreak, and pain. These stories compel Jenny to examine the loose ends in her own life. Jenny moves out her aunt's antiques while her family's history moves in on her.

When Drew Estrada, a young teacher, suddenly finds himself the legal guardian of Tre Warner, a popular student, his life becomes torn apart by desire. In this imaginative, accomplished novel about sex, murder, and skateboards, reality becomes increasingly unclear. Is Tre a real person or a hallucinatory product of Drew’s damaged soul? Distemper is ultimately a meditation on the illusory nature of love. National Book Award Winner William T. Vollmann has called this book “a beautifully written catalogue of various kinds of unhappiness.” Josh Aterovis, author of the Killian Kendall Mystery Series, says, “Nulick’s debut novel almost reads like poetry. He understands that the Devil is in the details… but so is the Deity.”
