Content to shadow her high-wattage older sister throughout her seventeen years, clarinetist and secret poet Lennie is devastated when Bailey dies suddenly. Lennie's profound loss awakens unexpected new feelings, including inexplicable sexual desires. An intimate story about coping with loss, Nelson's first novel is tender, romantic, and loaded with passion.
