What if you have everything you always wanted, but it doesn’t feel like it’s supposed to? And what’s up with all those people who should be behaving differently? Jane Garland was insurmountably busy pretending to be a good adult and never quite making it to the end of her to-do list. In the future, when all her work was done, she would finally be content. The problem being that it was always just today.

A Son of the Middle Border is an epic story of the quest for new frontiers during the last half of the nineteenth century, and of the gradual, heartbreaking failure of America's pioneer ideal.

No topic is too taboo or off limits, from the sexual assaults she suffered as a child to the exhibitionism displayed and multiple abortions she had as an adult. Garland weaves the seedy and secretive world of a sex addict with her words, removing the erotic and replacing it with the reality of what it means to live a double life: lying to and cheating on the ones you love.
