From the New York Times bestselling author of The Rules of Magic comes a “memorable…striking”(Village Voice) novel that vividly portrays an American family shattered by tragedy.
Ivan and Polly Farrell have two bright and talented children. Eight-year-old Charlie has his father’s scientific mind. Amanda, eleven, possesses the unusual strength and determination that has made her a promising gymnast. But her strength runs out as she becomes ill—and when she is diagnosed with AIDS, her family must draw on their own strengths as they come face-to-face with their deepest fears.
“Brilliant…explosive…heart-rending.”—Chicago Tribune
“Compelling power…tenderness and perceptiveness.”—The New York Times
