BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM DUST JACKET:
With this unexpectedly impressive
debut novel of psychological mystery, Schupack boldly announces her presence
at the table of writers who deserve to be heard.
Meg Landry expected it to be a day
like any other-her asthmatic 8 year old son would step off the bus, home
from school. But on this day, the boy on the bus is not Meg's son-or
at least doesn't appear to be. This new boy shares Charlie's copper
hair, tea-brown eyes, and slight frame. But there is something
profoundly, if indefinably, different about him. He has a finer nose,
his skin is shinier, and his face looks more mature, as if he has grown into
being Charlie more than the real Charlie ever had.
In the wake of Meg's quiet alarm,
her far flung family returns home, and a jangly unease sets in.
Neither Charlie's father nor Charlie's rebellious sister can help Meg settle
the question of the boy. They look to her for certainty--after all,
shouldn't a mother know her own child?
In this daring novel, Deborah
dissects a family stretched out along the seams of postmodern small town
life. With the precision of a literary wordsmith, Schupack has crafted
an extraordinary tale of a mother's love for her son and a mystery that may
ultimately rip them apart. Tense and atmospheric, this debut is a rare
combination of intellectual sophistication and page-turning suspense.
