White Picket Fences: A Novel

White Picket Fences: A Novel

When her black sheep brother disappears, Amanda Janvier eagerly takes in her sixteen year-old niece Tally. The girl is practically an orphan: motherless, and living with a father who raises Tally wherever he landsâ€“ in a Buick, a pizza joint, a horse farmâ€“and regularly takes off on wild schemes. Amanda envisions that she, her husband Neil, and their two teenagers can offer the girl stability and a shot at a â€œnormalâ€ life, even though their own storybook lives are about to crumble.

Seventeen-year-old Chase Janvier hasnâ€™t seen his cousin in years, and other than a vague curiosity about her strange life, he doesnâ€™t expect her arrival will affect him muchâ€“or interfere with his growing, disturbing interest in a long-ago house fire that plagues his dreams unbeknownst to anyone else.

Tally and Chase bond as they interview two Holocaust survivors for a sociology project, and become startlingly aware that the whole family is grappling with hidden secrets, with the echoes of the past, and with the realization that ignoring tragic situations wonâ€™t make them go away.

Will Tallyâ€™s presence blow apart their carefully-constructed world, knocking down the illusion of the white picket fence and reveal a hidden past that could destroy them allâ€“or can she help them find the truth without losing each other?
