When fourteen-year-old Micah Darling travels to Los Angeles to reunite with the mother who abandoned him seven years ago, he finds himself out of his league in a land of magical freedom. Back in the Midwest, an ethereal young woman comes to Stone City on a mission that will unsettle the lives of everyone she meets--including Micah's half-sister, Lyris, and his father, Tiny, a petty thief. An investigation into the stranger's identity uncovers a darkly disturbed life, as parallel narratives of the comic and tragic, the mysterious and quotidian, unfold in both the country and the city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Drury\u003c\/b\u003e is also the author of \u003ci\u003eThe End of Vandalism\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHunts in Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Driftless Area\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Black Brook\u003c\/i\u003e.
