After the death of her father, Laurel is haunted by a legacy of family
secrets, hidden shame, and shattered glass. Immersing herself in the
heady rhythms of a city that is like something wild, caged, and pacing,
Laurel tries to lose herself. But when she runs away from the past, she
discovers a passion so powerful, it brings her roundabout and
face-to-face with the demons she wants to avoid.
In a stunning departure from her enormously popular Weetzie Bat books,
Francesca Lia Block weaves a darkly exhilarating tale of shattered
passions and family secrets.
