The year is 1958, the location a small town in upstate New York where a tragedy has just occurred in the life of 11-year-old Eudora (Dorrie) Buell: her beloved older brother, David, has died in a motorcycle accident, and this little girl's whole world is about to crumble. In her second novel, In Dark Water, Mermer Blakeslee introduces her appealing heroine and then proceeds to burden her with more trials than Job himself ever faced. In the wake of her brother's death, Dorrie's mother has a complete breakdown, and her father, so caught up in his own grief and his wife's problems, neglects his daughter. When the local stable where Dorrie has found what little solace she can in riding closes down, it's the last straw; hacking off her hair, Dorrie packs her bags and hits the road under the shiny new moniker of Dorrie Shane (in honor of the television cowboy she admires) only to fetch up on the doorstep of the Tappen family farm a few miles away. Dorrie's time with the Tappens is healing but all too short. One misunderstanding leads to another, and soon the little girl is caught up in a terrifying series of events that threaten Dorrie's own fragile grip on reality. Blakeslee writes her harrowing account of familial disintegration from several different perspectives: Dorrie's, of course, as well as Mrs. Tappen's and her parents. If most of the novel is dark, the promise of eventual redemption lightens the gloom, and for readers looking for a compelling domestic drama, <

In 1958, in a small town in upstate New York, the Buell family is falling apart. The unexpected death of David, their only son, alters their perception of the world and of themselves in wholly unexpected and profound ways. This is the story of Dorrie Buell, a small girl wise beyond her years, who is looking for a way to make sense of the adult world around her.Armed with the imagined identity of a cowboy drifter which only half masks the vulnerable girl inside, Dorrie finds refuge in the hilltop farmhouse of the lively, eccentric Tappen family, who gives her the love she craves. Yet this place can only be a temporary home. The emotional journey back to her own family will be the most perilous of all.Luminous, profound, alive with the secret knowledge of childhood, "In Dark Water" is a stunning novel of one family's healing.
