"In Timothy Schaffert's seriocomic debut, two sisters on the cusp of womanhood struggle to understand their father's suicide as well as their mother's abandonment of them many years earlier.".
"Lily and Mabel live on their own in their grandmother's antique shop in rural Nebraska. They're bound by their loyalty to each other and their haunting urgency to reconcile their own versions of the past so that they might build their futures together. In what she intends to be a rebellious, even wild, choice, Lily steals a car with her boyfriend and heads southwest, to an Arizona vineyard to confront her mother.
But Mabel stays behind, seeking to commune somehow with her father's ghost and finding comfort from a young man whose family is grieving the death of a sister."--BOOK JACKET.
