It is the summer of 1948 when a handsome, charismatic stranger, Charlie Beale, back from war in Europe, shows up in the sleepy town of Brownsburg, Virginia. All he has with him are two suitcases: one contains a fine set of butcher knives; the other is full of money. Charlie should have turned around and walked back the other way, for what follows – the most passionate and tragic story of a forbidden love affair – will threaten to destroy everything and everyone in its path. Told through the eyes of Sam, a young boy in the town whose world is changed forever by the events of that single year, Heading Out to Wonderful is a suspenseful masterpiece, a haunting, heart-stopping novel of obsession and love gone terribly wrong in a place where once upon a time such things could happen.

Robert Goolrick's debut novel, A Reliable Wife, was a number 1 New York Times bestseller and sold over a million copies. He is also the author of the acclaimed memoir The End of the World as We Know It. He lives in a small Virginia town.
Dressed like a movie star, the young wife of the town’s richest man sits on her porch waiting for life to begin.
A stranger arrives back from the war with two suitcases in his hands: one contains a fine set of butcher knives; the other is full of money.
The moment he sees her, she goes off in his head and his heart like a firecracker on the Fourth of July. Something dazzling. Something stupendous. Something wholly and mysteriously wonderful.
In this small Virginian town, something is finally about to happen...
