When Jayne and Rodger finally have a child of their own, a seemingly stable home is built. But then, after nearly a decade, Bunny resurfaces and sets a chain of events in motion that detonates all their lives.As adults, their children try to reassemble the pieces and solve the mystery that has always haunted them.

Jayne and Barbara (Bunny) aren't particularly close sisters. Bunny runs away as a teen, she keeps in touch here and there but nothing is consistent. Then she repears years later with 3 children in tow which she abandons with Jayne.
Bunny is sad, broken, unstable. Jayne is put together., solid, reliable.
And without meaning too, with the best intentions, between them they are going to create 6 messed up children.
I couldn't put this book down.
