There are the miseries the Castles will talk about--old family lore about a great, great, great uncle who was split in two while connecting railroad cars--and the misery none of them will face. There are days at the lake, placid except for inexplicable tension the parents won't address and the three Castle children don't have names for. There are stories about sex and gore at cocktail parties, around bonfires, at sleepovers, in classrooms, and in the newspaper. Everyday growing pains are shadowed by the abduction of a local girl, reports of a massacre of nurses, and the harm done by strangers and by those who are charged to care for children. To survive childhood is to survive all of these miseries and tragedies, because growing up means waking up to a world that can be random and brutal"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230717. 650 $a Families $z Middle West $v Fiction. 655 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. 655 7 $a Audiobooks. 941 $a 1 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240118010324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=45ADDC38B5CF11EE9701991E25ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
