Book excerpt: "Haven is fiercely protective of her little brother, Chase, spiriting him away when their father's temper is about to flare again. She hides the bread so he'll have something to eat and she teaches him how to make himself invisible, how to read the signs. But when that's no longer enough to keep him safe, Haven steals the family car and pilots them away. Their aunt Mary takes them in and tries to love them and make up for everything they've endured." "But a childhood so harrowing is impossible to forget. Haven marries young and has a daughter, April, hoping in vain for redemption. Chase tries to battle his demons, but his searching just takes him to darker and darker places. And, always, they try to keep one another afloat." "Chase and Haven is a haunting story, inventively told and deeply felt, of suffering and love, made of thousands of small impressionist facets that refract the quiet spectrum of the beauty and the detritus of two entwined lives."--BOOK JACKET.
