Book Overview
In this novel set in a mill town with the tangled greenery of Pennsylvania's wooded hills as backdrop, Judith Hutchins and her daughters struggle with the latest disappearance of Gort--fisherman, astronomer, and sometime husband and father. Headstrong and severe, fourteen-year-old Lil cannot accept her father's absence or her mother's reaction to it. Judith, devoting herself to a new job to keep the family going, finds herself involved with a lover, while Lil takes matters into her own hands, determined to find her father and bring him to account. Told in the alternating voices of Judith and Lil, the novel is a story of the resilience of love, of forgiveness in families, of the roundabout ways in which people connect.
