Attempts to reclaim the lamp are made, as a misplaced father slowly fades to white in the background ...
"A gutsy writer with a gift for creating vivid images rooted in the emotional life of her characters" ~ The New York Times
"Troubled and precocious college dropout April is described to her mother, Louise, as 'stunningly brilliant' - a line that fits her creator, Sheila Callaghan
