About the book
Only a generation removed from being Pennsylvania potato farmers, Gottfried and Marla Hemmings now sit atop a seven-figure bank account - wealth they've declined to pass on to their adult children or teenage grandchildren. As the rot beneath the surface of the Hemmings' suburban respectability begins to spread, the far-flung grandchildren gradually find their ways back to one another, just in time to uncover the terrible cost of maintaining the family name. With her inimitable surrealism and insight into the teenage experience, YA master A.S. King explores how a corrosive culture of polite, affluent white supremacy tears a family apart and how one determined generation can save themselves.
