From the back cover...
"... an insightful exporlation of adolescent angst, the dynamics of desire, and the deep, mysterious bonds that hold families together.
When seventeen-year-old Henry Shaw discovers that all is not as it seems with his ordinary mid-western American family... that, in fact, his mother is having a passionate affair... he is unable to tell anyone. Neither his amiable father, a history teacher, nor his slightly offbeat younger sister, a spirited girl obsessed with Civil War reenactments, has any idea that their world is about to change.
... a brilliant novel that sheds new light on the nature of love and the ethics of disobedience."
