BookMuse Recommended Read My new shrink asks me, 'What things do
you remember about being very young?' It's like looking into a
murky river, I say. Memories flash near the surface like fish
coming up for flies. The past peeps out, startles me, and then is
gone... Amanda secludes herself in her bedroom, no longer willing
to face the outside world. Gradually, she pieces together the story
of her life: her brothers have had to abandon her, her mother
scarcely talks to her, and the Wacky Man could return any day to
burn the house down. Just like he promised. As her family
disintegrates, Amanda hopes for a better future, a way out from the
violence and fear that has consumed her childhood. But can she
cling to her sanity, before insanity itself is her only means of
escape?
