About
Their mother asked the impossible. Their father did the unthinkable. Lulu and Merry's childhood was never ideal, but on the day before Lulu's tenth birthday it became a nightmare. Mama warns Lulu not to let her father in, but he bullies his way past her. She runs for help, but discovers upon her return that he's murdered her mother, stabbed five-year-old Merry, and tried to kill himself. Effectively orphaned by their mother's death and father's imprisonment, the girls' relatives abandon them to a terrifying group home. Even as they plot to be taken in by a well-to-do family, they come to learn that all they have to hold on to is each other. As the sisters spend thirty years trying to make sense of what happened, their jailed father shadows their every choice. One spends her time pretending he's dead, while the other feels compelled to keep him close. Both dread that someday he'll win parole.
