Oates is a master of family drama. This book will break your heart again and again. It is the story of a beautiful single mom whose husband is on the run. This leaves her to fend for herself and her daughter. Ingrid is the beautiful, sensitive daughter who is the product of this unstable home life. This story leads you unerringly to her downfall but ultimately, to her redemption. The happy ending is hard won through her tragic life. Excellent read!
