In those days, there were no words to describe the nature of my mother's tales. No diagnosis for her tendency toward fiction. No names for women who make accidents happen to their children. No terms for imaginary heroes. And so we listened to my mother's stories in silence and tried to believe.Indie Brown is a woman haunted by a childhood he's rather forget. As an adult, Indie has moved far away from her parents and created a new life with her longtime companion, Peter, a sensitive and steadfast partner. But a late-night phone call from her younger sister sends her reeling back into the chaos of her troubled family. In this luminous and terrifying novel, Indie is forced to confront the nightmares of her childhood and reevaluate her relationships with her mother, her sister, and Peter.
