If you've ever lived with anyone who is differently abled like Termite, then you will have strong feelings about this book. What one person can sense across miles, continents and time is not something others can necessarily understand. But the bonds of love move these characters beyond normal limitations.

Lark is going to understand herself, her brother, her aunt, her mother and the men in her mother's life as she seeks to define her future. What unfolds as the characters tell their stories and time moves in and out of now is a complex weaving of how families hold each other. Some crush what they hold dearest, some flee, some seek, some cling, and others just sense where to go. Along the way, passions and emotional ties encircle the givers and the takers and lives intertwine until they are inseparable.

This book isn't for everyone - only those who can believe in the depth and width of the human heart when it beats for others.
