![]() Only, as the relationship grows, it’s evident that Cat, for all the hardships she has suffered, truly knows nothing of a difficult life. Beautiful, ethereal, and ringed with the aroma of danger, drugs, and I-do-what-I-want nonchalance, the elder and far less naïve girl is the siren to Cat’s newly emerging sense of rebellion.

Being the good student, the good daughter, the quiet one, has not saved her from the friction of a shattered family and from the excesses of her slowly degenerating mother. Cat is here with her newly divorced and already alcoholic mother, her brother, and the ghost like memories of an absentee father off living with his young new wife. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cat is the new girl in a bankrupt and dreary Michigan town where the slush of dirty snow and toxin thick rain sloughs the dismal days into one long pointless stream.
