Rachel Basch's remarkable debut is an eloquent and touching story about family and individuality, guilt and blame, and how love can fail or save us, often to our great surprise. In the blink of an eye, in the space of a second, everything you know to be true can be lost forever. For Jack and Lily, that moment comes when their baby daughter, home alone with Lily, pulls a pot of boiling water off the stove and suffers terrible burns. It's an accident, but soon Lily and Jack are struggling to convince themselves and others of this fact. And the struggle is tearing them apart.
