Among Friends is Hal Ebbott's debut novel. In this story of male friendship, families, and self-worth, Ebbott strives to show us the value in longtime friends, and also the danger of delusion. Emerson and Amos have been friends since college, and Emerson and Claire, Amos' wife, have been friends since childhood. When they gather with their families for Emerson's 52nd birthday, both dark and light are revealed. Ebbott loads his story with metaphor and imagery, making this a lyrical read. As you flow through the realities that must be faced, you are in a timeless world where history and emotion both overwhelm and resolve.
