Fiction
In the tropical paradise that is Miami, Avis and Brian Muir
are still haunted by the disappearance of their ineffably
beautiful daughter, Felice, who ran away when she was
thirteen. Now, after five years of modeling tattoos,
skateboarding, clubbing, and sleeping in a squat house or on
the beach, Felice is about to turn eighteen. Her
family-Avis, an exquisitely talented pastry chef; Brian, a
corporate real estate attorney; and her brother, Stanley,
the proprietor of Freshly Grown, a trendy food market-will
each be forced to confront their anguish, loss, and sense of
betrayal. Meanwhile, Felice must reckon with the guilty
secret that drove her away, and must face her fear of losing
her family and her sense of self forever. This multilayered
novel about a family that comes apart at the seams-and finds
its way together again-is totally involving and deeply
satisfying, a glorious feast of a book.
