Description: "Lake Rose Davis is the only child of former hippies who settled in a small Idaho mill town in the late 1960s. Her parents' eccentric lifestyle makes Lake an outcast among the children of the town, and the unspoken tensions among the adults of her parents' small social universe puzzle and disturb her. She ponders over her mother's infidelities and the mysterious resentment between her mother and her grandparents far away in St.

Louis, and between her mother and her aunt, a conventional career woman relentlessly in search of love." "As a teenager, Lake joins her grandparents in Missouri, and spends her youth seeking answers to her questions about the past and trying to understand the complex pattern of betrayals that shaped it. Only when she herself becomes party to a betrayal as devastating as any commmitted by her mother does Lake begin to understand the past and herself."--BOOK JACKET.
