Edward is nearly four when he begins his slow, painful withdrawal
from the world. For those who love him - his father, Jack, and
mother, Rachel, pregnant with her third child - the transformation
of their happy, intelligent firstborn into a sleepless feral
stranger is a devastating blow. As Rachel delves into family
history in search of answers, flashbacks from the past afford
insight into the coping mechanisms of different families and
marriages. A WILD RIDE UP THE CUPBOARDS poses questions not easily
answered. How much should a mother sacrifice for her children? When
do parents' ambitions for their offspring become counterproductive,
even destructive? And who should decide what is best for the child?
Ann Bauer's spellbinding fiction debut is a brilliantly nuanced
portrait of a marriage - and a family - under siege.
