Dear Librarians,

As a teenager, I was haunted by my best friend's mother suicide. What kind of despair leads to this?

In my story about a family falling apart, sixteen-year-old Sarah Kunitz is a gifted singer growing up in a wealthy Boston suburb in 1970, where material riches and the shimmering façade of affluence fail to protect her and her three brothers from tragedy.

"...deeply moving and devastatingly beautiful..." —Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants

"...announces the arrival of a strong, distinct and fully evolved new voice." —Jennifer Egan, Pulitzer Prize winner
