Meet the picture-perfect Bird family: pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and towheaded twins Rory and Rhys, one an adventurous troublemaker, the other his slighter, more sensitive counterpart. Their father is a sweet, gangly man, but it’s their beautiful, free-spirited mother Lorelei who spins at the center. In those early years, Lorelei tries to freeze time by filling their simple brick house with precious mementos. Easter egg foils are her favorite. Craft supplies, too. She hangs all of the children’s art, to her husband’s chagrin. 

Then one Easter weekend, a tragedy so devastating occurs that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years pass and the children have become adults, while Lorelei has become the county’s worst hoarder. She has alienated her husband and children and has been living as a recluse. But then something happens that beckons the Bird family back to the house they grew up in - to finally understand the events of that long-ago Easter weekend and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.

Usually enjoy this author. This one was an exception, I found it long, tedious, unnecessarily confusing but still was able to make it to the end of the story which thankfully ends on a high note given the many hours of morose and disturbing characters.

What a great story. Original. Compelling, Rich.
Some may think it’s overdrawn in story. This worked well with a trauma based family. All the flaws and side stories. The want to help. The want to walk away.
I was hoping for a clean ending. Something that would put some parts to rest. And even without those parts. You walk away ok. Knowing that there’s more to this family waiting to be unleashed in their healing.
Super well done.

I haven’t cried at a book in more than 15 years!

First off the narration was exceptional.
The story was good, nothing really happened in this book. It was easy to listen to though.

I found it to be ok

While I appreciated the different story line, I found it to be pretty flat overall. I wasn’t overly interested and found it hard to finish.

A bit boring

I enjoyed this book and all it entails. All around suspenseful and sometimes mind blowing! I love how it connected a character from “The Truth about Melody Browne” that one wouldn’t have realized had they not read that book.

Great!
