Harriet Harrie Compton-Milne lives life on a treadmill of emotional challenges. Her severely OCD brother cant relate to anyone but her. Harries grandmother, once so full of spit and vinegar, now wastes away in the attic, a victim of the ravages of multiple sclerosis. Since Harries scientist-fathers only interest is his model trains, and her mothers focus is on keeping herself looking young, the responsibility for this dysfunctional family unit falls on Harries shoulders, even though shes only 21. Longing to start her career as a certified jeweler, Harrie is tied to her home, and theres no relief in sight. Hamilton is the author of more than a dozen novels, including The Reading Room (2009) and The Judges Daughter (2007), and this emotion-filled story of family dynamics and self-discovery will appeal to those who like their books brimming with interesting characters.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
