Brilliantly delineating the inner lives of her characters, J. C. Peterson tells a story about parents and children and their inextricable relationships in this stunning new novel, her most accomplished yet. Moving, utterly satisfying -it is a work of dazzling inventiveness of plot and character we've come to expect from her books: Wetback, Joseph's Journey, Sovereign Scepter, Mona's Secret, and Requiem for The Captain.
