false 2970434 1 SWALLOW ME WHOLE is a love story carried by rolling fog, terminal illness, hallucination, apophenia, insect armies, secrets held, unshakeable faith, and the search for a master pattern to make sense of one's unraveling. Two adolescent stepsiblings hold together amidst schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, family breakdown, animal telepathy, misguided love, and the tiniest nugget of hope that the heart, that sanity, that order itself will take shape again. 3000659 book 29 10 2008 Swallow Me Whole total:186|5:36|4:75|3:48|2:24|1:3| 186 675 334 56 4 2 false false Sat Feb 28 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 01 09:13:56 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 07:12:46 -0800 2009
