Meet
the Cooke family. Our narrator is Rosemary Cooke. As a child, she never stopped
talking; as a young woman, she has wrapped herself in silence: the silence of
intentional forgetting, of protective cover. Something happened, something so
awful she has buried it in the recesses of her mind.
Now her adored older brother is a fugitive, wanted by the FBI for domestic terrorism. And her once lively mother is a shell of her former self, her clever and imperious father now a distant, brooding man.
And Fern, Rosemary’s beloved sister, her accomplice in all their childhood mischief? Fern’s is a fate the family, in all their innocence, could never have imagined.
