The narrative follows Sandy's experiences and those of her two sisters as they deal with an onslaught of tragedy. Jarett's story begins as he watches his family learn of his accident and he comes to terms with his "goneness." He weaves the darkness of his death into the lightness of the life he led growing up on the farm. There is a strong sense of place that Jarett reflects on and longs for, but mostly, there is family. Stories of misery run parallel to stories of a bucolic childhood, connecting the appalling with the appealing, showing the pain of loss and the reasons why leaving is so hard. This is a story that will tug at your heart with its truth.
