- Synopsis
- Her room is the core of Julia's world. There she has her desk, her writing and her dreams while around her pulses a world she is not mature enough to fully understand. Her best friend, Addie, is a part of it. Addie, always on the brink of laughter and ready to share Julia's intensities, lives in a nightmare from which her brother Kenny desperately tries to escape. Across the backyard lives Mrs. Moore, a recluse who opens Julia's eyes to a larger world while nearly destroying Addie's and Kenny's precarious one. Closer are the rooms of Daddy Chandler, continually working on a book he will never finish, and of her brother Greg, who accepts himself as the reincarnation of an Egyptian pharaoh. Closest is her mother's room, yet Julia cannot sense its loneliness as she fights her mother's wishes to remarry. Julia is going to be a writer. Her room is her observation post and she will not be moved from it, even as she seeks a wider view. Other books by this author are available in this library.
