from the back cover:
Three years have passed since Squid McCrae last saw her parents and the remote island off the coast of British Columbia where she grew up. Squid returns now at seventeen, with a young daughter in two. The visit, she knows, will be rough. Lizzie Island is the place of Squid's idyllic childhood, where she and her brother, Alastair, blossomed into precocious adolescents. But Lizzie Island is also the place where Alastair died.
Squid blames her parents for Alastair's death: Her father, the island's lightkeeper, didn't allow Alastair to leave, and her mother's entreaties on his behalf didn't succeed. Through it all, Squid was her brother's fiercest protector as well as his tormentor.
Now the past collides with the present as Squid's homecoming unleashes bittersweet recollections, revelations, and accusations. But nothing is what it appears to be.
