A heartbreaking and mind-bending account of a gifted teenage artist's awakening to the brokenness of her family, from critically acclaimed award-winner A.S. King. Sixteen-year-old Sarah can't get. This is issues, because so long as she can remember, she's "done the art". She considers she's having an existential turmoil. And she might be right; she does indeed keep running into past and future versions of herself as she wanders the urban ruins of Philadelphia. Or maybe she's finally getting up to the tornado that is her family, the tornado that six years back sent her once-beloved old brother flying across the country for grounds she can't quite remember. After years of staying along "for the kids" and building a family on a foundation of lays and domestic violence, Sarah's parents reach the end. Now Sarah must come to grips with years spent sleepwalking in the ruins of these toxic matrimony. As Sarah herself often observes, nothing at all about her pain is remotely original - and yet it still hurts.
