"Schweighardt looks at a troubled family with honesty and humor in this dark comedy."
KirkusReviews
"Schweighardt handles complex emotional issues with some skill in her provocative debut novel about two couples and a crippled adolescent vacationing on an unnamed island as a severe hurricane approaches. Schweighardt's brief but heavily symbolic work is best read as a modern fable which asks how people variously evade or embrace disaster."
