- Synopsis
- One day, Angie Voorster-diligent student, all-star swimmer, and Ivy-League-bound high school senior-dives to the bottom of a pool and stays there. In that moment, everything the Voorster family believes they know about each other changes. As Angie swings between manic highs and dangerous lows, the Voorsters struggle to maintain the appearance of an ideal New England family. It is only when Angie is finally able to fend for herself that the family allows itself to fall apart and then regather in a new, fundamentally changed way. With grace and precision, debut novelist Katharine Noel guides us through a world where love is imperfect, and where longing for an imagined ideal can both destroy one family's happiness and offer it redemption.
