Can a couple's marriage survive a life-changing loss when one of them is responsible for the tragedy? AND THE STARS KEPT WATCH is the story of Catherine and Nathan Osgood, a young couple who has everything they desire. Nathan is married to the woman of his dreams and has a great career to match. Catherine, with her two young boys, has the family and the life she's yearned for. With a momentary lapse of judgment, Nathan causes an accident that will alter the course of their lives forever. How do they recover from this horrific event? Heartbreaking and hopeful, AND THE STARS KEPT WATCH explores universal themes of love, grief, recovery and redemption, and calls us to consider whether "the unforgivable" can ever be forgiven.

Friedrichs’ flawless first novel is a nuanced study of the aftermath of a family tragedy. He succeeds in navigating an emotional minefield with exceptionally acute insight and respectful subtlety, ultimately mitigating the profound vulnerability and suffering such a cataclysm provokes with valiant writing that feels authentic and true. Emotions run high; keep the hankies handy.

Friedrich’s novel about loss and the search for a path to healing is sensitively told in a carefully composed narrative that aims to fairly represent both Catherine’s and Nathan’s perspectives...A well-constructed novel about tragedy and healing.
