Inspired by the true life Connecticut circus fire of 1944, The
Proper Order of Things is a coming-of-age novel set in the 1980s in
Southwestern Ontario. Unsure why she is the only child (of 9) who
gets to choose between moving with her dad to an apartment in the
city and staying with her mother in her remote hometown, Caroline
receives an answer that she will contemplate throughout her
adolescent years: "You are the lucky one." With parents whose
secret past haunts every limb of the family tree, and siblings who
range from rats to copycats, Caroline is sure to face a difficult
journey no matter which household she chooses. While her compulsive
mother allows the family to multiply exponentially in hopes of
replacing what was lost, her superstitious father is petrified of
history repeating itself. Caroline's only hope is to move closer to
Chester, the one person who truly understands the importance of a
pinkie swear. In a family where a birthday is more sacred than life
itself, only one member's death can reveal the truth about the
others.
