Into their insular world a shattering revelation intrudes: Julia learns that her twenty-two-year-old son, Jack, has spiraled into heroin addiction." "In an attempt to save him, Julia marshals help from her loose-knit clan: elderly parents, remarried ex-husband, distant sister, and conflicted elder son. Ultimately, heroin courses through the characters' lives with an impersonal and devastating energy, sweeping Jack into the exhilarating self-destruction of drug addiction and drawing the family into a world in which deceit, crime, and fear are parts of daily life." "In Cost, Robinson tackles addiction and explores its subtle effects on the bonds of family, dazzling us with her subtlety and precision in evoking the emotional interiors of her characters. The result is a work in which the reader's sense of discovery and compassion for every character remain unflagging to the end, even as the reader, like the characters, is caught up in Cost's pace."--BOOK JACKET.
