Now You Love Me

"Now You Love Me marks a luminous debut, a work of genuine humor and grace. Narrated by Annie Child, in a voice both direct and full of wonder, the ten linked tales of Now You Love Me illuminate a year in the life of one family's search for love. Set against the vast lakes and small resort towns of northern Michigan, Annie's childhood world is measured by the sharp realizations and losses of adult understanding, yet follows the elusively dreamy logic of her mother. Family is a complex affair: Gus, Annie's knowing younger brother; Paige, their wildly free-spirited mother; Shepherd, Paige's loopily steadfast musician/electrician boyfriend; Susie Medicinehat, a mysterious housekeeper; Aunt Claire, the ignored lone voice of reason; and a host of other eccentric friends and half-strangers, all of whom swirl in and out of Annie's life.". "Now You Love Me offers up a bright constellation of believers and dreamers, hitchhikers, mystical babysitters, lost fathers and found love. This is a joyfully original portrait, heartbreaking and generously funny, as precise as a magician's sleight of hand and true as a letter mailed back from childhood."--BOOK JACKET.
