![]() ![]() Warm and gentle, stirring memories of my childhood, with moments of heartbreak, I would recommend this "coming of age" story to anyone. Alone and quiet I can piece myself together the world will slow to steady and I'll find solid ground again. Just sneak into your bed and close your eyes and crawl between the sheets. I think that most of us can identify with the feeling of hitting bottom. She begins to lose herself and feels her life spiraling out of control. ![]() These situations were especially interesting to me, because they sort of start out thrilling and warm and cozy and enlightening, and Tessa thinks how wonderful these experiences are, but then reality sets in. Her new peer group of older men causes her to deal with situations that she is not prepared to deal with. Tessa turns to an older man for comfort and acceptance. Tessa is always second-place in her mother's life (or third or fourth).Īfter she and her mother become residents of an isolated cult, Tessa feels more abandoned than ever as her mother thrives in the new community. Her needs came first instead of that of her children. ![]() My best friend's mother was quite a bit like this. It's a story that so many girls can identify with: Raised by a single mother with no father in the picture, seeking a father's love, the fear that everyone will abandon you as he did, and a selfish and emotionally-distant mother to boot. ![]()
