Synopsis

A memoir of impeccable beauty about a family that thrived at the heart of the American Dream and of a young boy's love for his brother Growing up in the desert on the edge of L.A. with three feuding sisters, a taciturn older brother whom he worshipped and emotionally distant parents, the young J.D. existed in a world at once idyllic and yet fatally flawed. As the idyll began to receed the cracks appeared, and a punishing silence took over the household and all those in it. Later, in the wake of horrific events, the Dolans were to find themselves scattered on the four winds of resentment, misdirection, illness and, eventually, death. In beautifully precise and intelligent prose reminiscent of Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, the author recreates his complex childhood existence, and movingly examines his family to see just how it all came apart.
