People don’t usually name tornadoes, but that year, Daddy
insisted. “Any twister that beautiful and that dangerous
can only be female. Reminds me of a woman I used to know
named Sophea.” He laughed. “Sophea, Sophea.” Dahlia’s life should be perfect. She’s a successful
businesswoman with a wonderful husband and a beautiful
daughter. But Dahlia senses that something isn’t quite
right. More and more often, she has the feeling of being
lost in her own body, completely mystified by the simplest
things, like traffic lights and car horns. These spells
strike at anytime, anywhere. And though aware that she’s
off balance, Dahlia has no idea what could be the cause. As Dahlia’s grasp on reality loosens, the signs lead to a
traumatic event from her childhood that has made its way
into her adult life. There is someone else lurking in the
back of Dahlia’s mind–and she wants out. Now she must
revisit the painful past, and the memories of a mother who
had her own mental demons. The only problem is: Dahlia
might have to lose herself entirely if she wants to
discover the secrets of that long-ago day when Sophea came
to town.
