Book Description:
Set in the early 1970s, this magical first novel by National Book Award finalist Martha McPhee marked not only the introduction of the Furey-Cooper family of Gorgeous Lies, but also the auspicious debut of a stunning literary talent.
Meet eight-year-old Kate and her sisters as they take to a life on the road when their divorced mother falls in love with someone new. This strange freedom introduces the girls to a way of life that is vastly different from the one they knew with their geologist father. But, far from him, adult distraction and carelessness finally threaten to explode and ruin Kate's life. Rich in character, imagery, and humor, Bright Angel Time is a brilliant and moving novel from an authentic, critically acclaimed new voice.

I had a hard time getting through this book. I was waiting for something to happen and it never did. It was suppose to be written from the view of an 8 year old girl but she spoke like someone much older. I think the author didn't have a clue as to how to think like a young child. I never did get the point of the book. Perhaps if you have read every other book there is to read you might want to try this one.
