In the hot Texas military base she telephone calls home, Katie spends the sluggish days and nights of her summer season waiting: hanging around to increase up; waiting for Dickie Mack to fall season deeply in love with her; waiting for her breasts to blossom; waiting for the beatings to stop. Since their mom perished, Katie and her elderly sister, Diane, have battled to understand their increasingly faraway, often violent daddy. While Diane escapes into the hands of her partner, Katie hides in her room or escapes to her best friend's house - until Katie's admiration for her strong-willed sister leads her by using an adventure that changes her life. Written with an unerring capability to capture the sadness of growth, the pain of change, the nearly visible vibrations that hook up people, this beautiful novel by the best-selling writer of Open House reminds us how wonderful - and wounding - a deeper understanding of life can be.
