Summary: The Janviers have the idyllic life. A beautiful home, great jobs, two wonderful kids. And surrounding it all is the proverbial white picket fence that protects them, offers them a serene sense of security-- and hides all their secrets. "When her black sheep brother disappears, Amanda Janvier eagerly takes in her sixteen-year-old niece Tally. The girl is practically an orphan: motherless and living with a father who raises Tally wherever he lands--in a Buick, a pizza joint, a horse farm--and regularly takes off on wild schemes. Amanda envisions that she, her husband, Neil, and their two teenagers can offer the girl stability and a shot at a 'normal' life, even though their own storybook lives are about to crumble." --Back cover.
