description: SSOMETHING RISING (LIGHT AND SWIFT), Haven Kimmel's second novel, is the heart-wrenching story of a female pool hustler who takes care of her family after her rakish father abandons them. Cassie waits for her gambling father to return home, her mother to move away from her position at the kitchen sink, for her fragile older sister to blossom out of her oddness, and for her own chance at a different life. Effortlessly living up to her BOOK MAGAZINE moniker, "the New Carson McCullers," Kimmel deftly handles this coming of age story and proves herself a master of genre.
