ALL THE UGLY AND WONDERFUL THINGS
"Romeo & Lolita meet Breaking Bad". A novel that will make you question what it means to be a family.
Eight-year-old Wavy is invisible. Her mother is busy doing drugs and her father dealing them. When Kellen crashes his motorcycle outside her house, he's the first person to notice Wavy in months. He may be fifteen years older and a thug, but he can see her.
Kellen is muscle for Wavy's father. He's not the kind of guy who rescues people, but Wavy's offer of friendship fills a hole in Kellen's life. If anyone on the outside bothered to look closer, the relationship would look wrong. But for Wavy it's a secret family where she, her baby brother, and Kellen can be safe from the dark, violent world around them. Unfortunately for all of them, secrets in their small Kansas town never remain hidden forever.
Reminiscent of White Oleander and Where the Heart Is, What Belongs to You is a novel that will make you question what it means to be a family.
Bryn Greenwood is a fourth-generation Kansan, and the daughter of a mostly reformed drug dealer. She earned an MFA from Kansas State University and continues to work in academia as an administrator. Her short fiction has appeared in Chiron Review, Karamu, The Battered Suitcase, and Menda City Review. She's had two novels, Last Will (2012) and Lie Lay Lain (2013), published by Stairway Press.
