"After the day of the schoolyard flood, Margaret begins to write happy endings of her own. Her made-up endings help her forget that singular moment in her life when everything went so wrong."

A sorrowful testament to the weight of grief and the burden of guilt. Oshetsky skillfully conveys the world through the eyes of a confused child and weaves a mutable tale in which the protagonist embarks on a vaguely hopeful quest for absolution. The first chapter is one I won't soon forget.

My thanks to for generously providing an advanced reading copy of this book.
