"Five wildly creative siblings are drawn back into each other’s orbit during a crisis. Along the way, Leon lets each character take turns telling the story and stitches together their collisions via e-mails, texts and telephone conversations, maintaining a healthy balance between tart humor and touching drama. Quirky, funny and eminently readable." —Kirkus

"A pleasingly dysfunctional family grapples with troubling events from their childhood. Each individually complains of a dilemma and begs to be rescued. The characters are always on the verge of a breakdown, but their epiphanies save them. Leon’s novel touches on very real familial issues yet maintains a playful tone." —Publishers Weekly

PEGGY LEON divides her time between Santa Barbara, California, where she wishes she lived, and Cooperstown, New York where she lives, writes and teaches. Her previous novel, Mother Country, a Book Sense pick, was published by The Permanent Press.
