The latest novel by Kim Dallesandro. "The pain began the moment my foot dipped into the water, grandmother easing me over the edge of the tub, she pressed me into sitting, the pain radiating pain in every nerve, every cell, a rush of hot, heat, sizzling pain. I laid my head on the back of the tub, my eyes closed. I listened to my heart beating in my ears as I slid down into the water, it covered my face as I surrendered to it. I felt a moment of peace." A complex tale of love, deceit and redemption that links three generations of women in a voyage of discovery about their own natures and the complex webs we weave that enslave us. As usual with Kim Dallesandro' s writing, the story twists and turns like an assassin's knife, as secret after secret is revealed and the true nature of loyalty is discovered.
