Fifteen-year-old Levon Keller is wedged between his golden boy older brother, David, and Levon's younger sister, Chloe, who battles with a rare genetic illness, glycogen storage disease. A not-so-classic middle child, Levon changes the lives of everyone around him when he is blamed for being behind the wheel of a car that accidentally kills David, whom Levon idolized, admired and adored. The Miami Beach family faces unspeakable suffering and devastation. Each member has a unique response to the accident: Madeline, Levon's mother, cool and indifferent, whose love and loyalty Levon longs for so desperately, searches for answers she may never find; Craig, Levon's father, who, according to Levon, is "perfect and tall like a Florida palm," and "weak in the presence of Mother Oak;" and Chloe, wholesome and courageous, whose medical condition causes daily concern for everyone, because when a child is chronically ill, the entire family feels the pain. There's Lucy Bell, an intriguing teenager who moves in with her family next door to the Kellers. Levon is immediately drawn to Lucy and the two develop an unexpected and extraordinary bond in the midst of the Keller family chaos.... No library descriptions found. |
