The explosive new novel that brims with love, secrets, and enchantment by Jandy Nelson, Printz AwardтАУwinning and New York Times bestselling author of IтАЩll Give You the Sun
┬а
The Fall siblings live in hot Northern California wine country, where the sun pours out of the sky, and the devil winds blow so hard they whip the sense right out of your head.
┬а
Years ago, the Fall kidsтАЩ father mysteriously disappeared, cracking the family into pieces. Now Dizzy Fall, age twelve, bakes cakes, sees spirits, and wishes she were a heroine of a romance novel. Miles Fall, seventeen, brainiac, athlete, and dog-whisperer, is a raving beauty, but also lost, and desperate to meet the kind of guy he dreams of. And Wynton Fall, 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.
┬а
Then an enigmatic rainbow-haired girl shows up, tipping the FallsтАЩ 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 out who she is, catastrophe strikes, leaving the Falls more broken than ever. And more desperate to be whole.
┬а
With road trips, rivalries, family curses, love stories within love stories within love stories, and sorrows and joys passed from generation to generation, this is the intricate, luminous tale of a familyтАЩs complicated past and present. And only in telling their stories can they hope to rewrite their futures.
