A fierce, tender, and utterly original work, a story of family, love, and the mysteries that bind us.
In this haunting and unforgettable novel, first published in 2001, Melanie Rae Thon entwines family myth with the currents of American history, tracing the patterns of loss, wandering, and the quiet violence that shapes generations. At its center are Flint, a sixteen-year-old caught between boyhood's follies and the hardened instincts of a criminal, and his younger sister, Cecile, whose loyalty and fear are impossible to separate.
After years behind bars at the Landers School for Boys, Flint escapes, returning to the only person he can trust-Cecile. Together, they plunge into a desperate, lawless journey: robbing a local doctor, stealing their mother's car, and following the shadows of their ancestors south to the Crow Indian Reservation. Along the way, the boundaries between accomplice, captive, and family blur, and the intensity of their bond becomes both refuge and threat.
Observing, guiding, and decoding their world is Marie Zimmer, the children's deaf aunt. Though silent, she carries the knowledge of generations. Through Marie's quiet witness and Flint and Cecile's desperate journey, the echoes of the past unfold, a haunting testament to the fragile, fierce threads of violence, devotion, and survival that bind this family across time and silence.
