* This stunning first printing boasts brilliant blue sprayed edges, creating a sumptuous look for this dazzling saga. *
Years ago in California wine country, where the sun pours out of the sky and the hot devil winds blow the sense right out of your head, the three Fall siblings' father mysteriously disappeared, breaking the family into pieces. Now Dizzy, age twelve, bakes cakes, sees spirits, and wishes she were the heroine of a romance novel. "Perfect Miles," seventeen, the boy no one worries about (though everyone should) is adrift, only the neighbor's dog aware that he dreams of other guys. And Wynton, nineteen, who raises the temperature of a room just by entering it, is a virtuoso violinist set on a crash course for fame . . . or self-destruction.
Then an enigmatic rainbow-haired girl shows up, tipping the Falls' world over. She might be an angel. Or a saint. Or an ordinary girl. Somehow, she is vital to each of them. But before anyone can figure her out, catastrophe strikes, leaving the Falls more broken than ever.
With rivalries, road trips, family curses, and love stories upon love stories, this era-spanning epic explores the sorrows and joys passed from one generation to the next, as a family tries to rewrite their future.
