Astrid has grown up within the intense private world created by her mother Ingrid, a gifted poet whose beauty and certainty conceal a capacity for cruelty. When Ingrid is imprisoned for murdering a lover, Astrid enters a succession of foster homes in Southern California. Each household brings different rules, attachments and dangers, forcing her to adapt while still negotiating her mother's powerful influence from prison. As she grows older, Astrid begins to use art and her own judgement to make sense of what has happened to her. Janet Fitch's novel explores the conflicting demands of love and independence, following a girl's struggle to form an identity beyond the person who first defined her world.
