There's going to be trouble : a novel
(Book)

"Minnow Hunter has always tried to lead the life her single father, Christopher, modeled - private, quiet, hardworking, apolitical. So she is rocked when a split-second decision makes her the extremely public face of a scandal in the small town where she teaches. She even loses the support of her father, who stops speaking to her when the media start harassing him too. Overwhelmed, Minnow flees to a teaching position in Paris, hoping distance and time will let her start over. But what if Christopher wasn't always the restrained, conservative man he appears? What if he has a troubled and tragic past that he has taken great pains to bury - from the world and from his daughter? In Paris, Minnow falls into an exhilarating and all-consuming relationship with a young French man, whose activism has placed him at odds with his powerful family. As Minnow lets herself be pulled into the dangerous action her lover and his friends are planning, she draws close to repeating the secret tragedy from her father's past and forever changing her own future. Their intertwining stories take us through the turmoil of the late sixties student movements and the chaos of the modern world, as both Christopher and Minnow ask themselves how far they're willing to go for change. . . and whether they can live with the mistakes they make along the way"--,Provided by publisher.
