But on a cool summer morning when Alison was fifteen, she work to learn that Roy, eighteen, was dead. This is Smith's extraordinary account of the impact of that loss - on herself, on her parents, and on a deeply religious community." "At home, Alison and her parents sleepwalk in shifts. Alison hoards food for her lost brother, hides in the backyard fort they built together, and waits for him to return. During the day, she breaks every rule at Our Lady of Mercy School for Girls, where the baffled but loving nuns offer prayer, Shakespeare, and a job running the switchboard. In the end, Alison finds her own way to survive: a startling and taboo first love that helps her discover a world beyond the death of her brother."--BOOK JACKET.
