When Clara Winter left her rural Adirondack town for college, she
never looked back. Her mother, Tamar, a fiercely independent but
loving woman who raised Clara on her own, all but pushed her out
the door, forcing Clara to build a new life for herself, far from
her roots, far from her high school boyfriend, far from the life
she had always known. Now more than a decade has passed, and Clara,
a successful writer, has been summoned home. Tamar has become
increasingly forgetful and can no longer live on her own. But just
as her mother's memory is beginning to slip away, Clara's questions
are building. Why was Tamar so insistent that Clara leave home all
those years ago? Just what secrets was she hiding? In this "quietly
powerful" (Booklist) and "luminous novel" (Kirkus Reviews), Alison
McGhee tells the story of a young woman finding her way in life,
determined to know her mother -- and by extension herself -- before
it's too late.
