Bean E. Fallwell keeps her favourite things in a red suitcase, which becomes the touchstone that keeps her from spiraling into the dark worlds of her beautiful but flawed mother, her sad father, and her magnetic stepfather who transforms from family saviour into drunken dragon. Without remorse or bitterness Bean moves forward, finding friendships where she can, casting spells to protect her younger sister, and seeking solace from whatever small sanctuaries her transient life offers. Descriptions of violence, explicit strong language, and some descriptions of sex. c2008.
