When sixteen-year-old gymnast Kay Clancy finds herself pregnant, she hides the identity of the baby's father and marries her high-school sweetheart, Joe LeBlanc. Years later, as Kay nears the end of her third pregnancy, Joe vanishes with his treasured canoe, and Kay fears he has discovered the secrets of her past." "Born weeks after Joe's disappearance, Kay's third child, Margar, grows into a mischievous girl determined to find the father she never knew. Her search leads to the eerie riverside house of Coach Halliwell, his wife, Marie, and their troubled son, Eddie, and stirs up questions about how the Halliwells are connected to the LeBlancs and how Kay's secret may have helped shape the tormented man that Eddie becomes." "Stretching across two decades, Origin of Haloes unfolds in Olympic-year intervals and observes the world through the television set in the LeBlancs' living room, where Margar and her siblings worship and wish for heroes. A tale of love, betrayal, and lingering ghosts, Origins of Haloes explores the shattering ways a family can break apart, even when it stays together."--BOOK JACKET.
