Critical Praise

"Deborah Schupack's strange, unsettling, lyrical novel defies simple paraphrase....From beginning to end, nothing is ordinary, while at the same time everything is."

——The New York Times Book Review

"This is my favorite book this year -- an incredible page-turning idea, written with grace, style, and deep, true emotion."

——James Patterson, Author of The Big Bad Wolf

"Schupack's debut novel is at once familiar and eerie...a chillingly twisty psychological drama about love and need."

——Entertainment Weekly

"Schupack snares readers in a disturbing book that's bound to make us ask questions not just about this mysterious situation, but about love and loss and the limits we all face in thoroughly knowing our children."

——Boston Herald
