I am not really sure if I liked this book or not. Teresa is 8 years old when she comes down with these strange sleeping spells. She may sleep for a few minutes or up to 20 hours at a time. Her father leaves the family and doesn't come back. Her mother meets a new man who has fallen in love with her, but she refuses to say it back to him. Teresa's brother Reuben runs away to San Francisco and isn't mentioned again. When Teresa turns 13, she loses her virginity in an incestous act with her brother Silver. Throughout the whole book, she feels overpoweringly drawn to her brother. They go to bed again and are caught by his wife. Teresa runs away and finds a man to live with, all the while thinking about Silver. At the end of the book, she releases the grasp she has had on him and moves on. I didn't feel the magic I have felt reading her other books when I read this one. I am going to read Skylight Confessions next, and I hope that it is better.
