This is a story about mental illness, family secrets and the different ways we have of remembering the "facts" of our past.

Maggie Glass is the second of four daughters. She referes to her siblings as "The Sisters Three"; she has trouble relating to them and seems to be different. Her father, Timothy, referes to her as "the Dreamer; she is the one child he finds similar to himself.

As the story opens, Timothy is institutionalized for Altzheimer's. The Sisters Three want Maggie to return home to help care for him. The story evolves through a series of flashbacks to Maggie's childhood and to Timothy's.

The writing style is poetic. I was sometimes confused with the chronology of the story, but the strong characters kept me reading.
