2018 | Fiction & Poetry | LGBTQ+

Lucy can’t hold the secret any longer. Twenty-six years ago, her sister did the unthinkable.

Portland, Oregon, 1989: Lucy Mustin, living somewhat happily, pumping out wedding cakes for starry-eyed heterosexuals while she, a lesbian, can’t legally marry, is called upon to travel to Santa Cruz to help her autistic sister, Alice, care for their Alzheimer’s-afflicted mother. She knew the call was coming sooner or later. She’d just hoped it would be later. Mother issues. The possibility that resolution might be lost to dementia is a heartbreak she doesn’t feel like feeling.

Santa Cruz, California, one week later: a trip to the family bakery ups the ante tenfold when the Loma Prieta/World Series Earthquake, racking up a whopping 7.1 on the Richter scale, traps the sisters below ground. There, Alice reminds Lucy of a promise made to their mother many years ago, a promise she plans to keep.

This was a well written and created book but it was a little hard to read. The whole concept was amazing as were the characters. What made it hard was that it would jump through time and it wasn't exactly clear when that occured. The story covers three distinct times in the main characters life which is fine just often it would be one paragraph in one time then the next in another with no bridge. Perhaps, it was just me but this disrupted the flow of an otherwise very creative novel.
