Lily and Mabel find themselves on their own, living in their
grandmother's antique shop in rural Nebraska. They're bound
together by their loyalty to each other and by a haunting urgency
to reconcile their own, disparate versions of the past so that they
might build their futures together. In what she intends to be a
rebellious, even wild, choice, Lily steals a car with her boyfriend
and heads southwest--imitating the flight of the infamous Stark
brothers but without the violent crime spree--toward an Arizona
vineyard to confront her mother. But Mabel stays behind, seeking to
commune somehow with her father's ghost and finding solace from a
young man whose family is grieving the death of a sister.
Renowned author Timothey Schaffert's celebrated debut novel,
reissued here in an entirely new paperback edition, chronicles two
sisters on the cusp of womanhood as they struggle to understand
their father's suicide as well as their mother's abandonment of
them many years earlier. On graduating from high school, the
sisters are once again set adrift, this time by their grandmother,
who leaves them for Florida. In order to survive, and perhaps ven
thrive, on their path to adulthood, they must learn to reconcile
their pasts and discover how to depend upon themselves as well as
upon each other.
