As the novel opens, a mother drives her eldest son Walter from their home in Los Angeles to the University of California at Berkeley. It will be her last fully responsible act before breaking down completely and being committed to a mental hospital, leaving her children behind. Holding tight to his ambitions to become an architect, Walter must cope with the sudden loss of his family and all financial support. With the help of a family friend, his younger sister and brother, still at home, barely manage to escape social services and foster care, but they must fend for themselves as they try to finish school and begin searching for their own careers. We hear each of them tell their own story as they witness the slow disappearance of their beloved mother into mental illness while they struggle to achieve the life she envisioned for them and to keep the family intact"-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order Simpson in Processing Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction Simpson Checked In Add Copy to MyList
