The characters dance off the page, pulling you along by your heartstrings. Hitchcock’s writing has an inescapable pull that draws the reader in. Last is Hank and his two brothers, hiding on a ferry as they escape their mother and her boyfriend.Īll of these stories intertwine in unique and unexpected ways. Then there’s Alyce, a talented dancer who just might win a scholarship to college – if only she could let down her father and not help him on his fishing boat.
