Emma is twelve, a perfectly normal girl, in a perfectly normal home. With a perfectly normal father...who comes into her bedroom every night in the hours before dawn. Emma will do anything to escape. From the visits. From the bodies. From the breathing. Even go walking on the ceiling--which is where Emma meets Ginny, the sister who died before she was born. Ginny, who knows things. Ginny, who can fly....
I found this book from 1993 in a local little library. The power went out that night in an intense desert storm, so I started reading by phone light. I finished in one sitting.
It's very well written with simple, unobstructed prose. The words get out of the way so you can experience the emotional journey. You will definitely cry on this one, but it will be cathartic.
Probably one of the most emotional books I have read in the past year.
Had to leave it down and think about something else after finishing the last page.
