Zusammenfassung:Susan J. Miller grew up in Washington Heights, New York, in the 1950s in a family whose lack of money, roots, and happiness appeared to have no definable cause. When she turns twenty-one, her father's casual revelation of his fifteen-year heroin addiction brings vertiginous uncertainty to every memory but is also the key to her past. By means of a structure that subtly circles and repeats - generating powerful momentum - she retraces the innocence and deceptions of a childhood lived at a distance from a crucial truth.
