Selected by Indie Booksellers for the Spring/Summer '09 Reading Group List
“Struggling with ghosts, past and present, the Davidsen family embarks on a journey of self-discovery when their father dies. The drama of this novel is not the stuff of soap operas but rather the revelation that what may seem extraordinary upon discovery becomes, in the end, an ordinary life.”
-- Beth Golay, Watermark Books, Wichita, KS
