Reviews
Francine ProsePeopleGrimsley writes lucidly and well. There's a lyric intensity and a quiet authority in Ellen's narrative voice, and thoughtful consideration has been given to the question of how one makes peace with the griefs of the past.

Synopsis
Jim Grimsley returns to the Southern landscape evoked so powerfully in his previous award-winning novels,Winter BirdsandDream Boy,to tell an unforgettable story of a woman's search for the meaning of a dream that has haunted her throughout her life.Ever since Ellen Tote can remember, she has dreamed of her mother slowly drowning. Now, with her own children all grown and her siblings long gone, Ellen journeys back to her childhood for answers. Piecing together her memories, she finally articulates a story so shattering, it had long been silenced by fear and shame. Both heartrending and life-affirming, this compelling portrait of a brave yet tragic woman celebrates the courage and endurance of the human spirit.
