But Frances’s mother has something else in mind for the family: Mountain Ash, a spiritual retreat in the middle of nowhere.

And Camp Whitman is a disaster. The boys in Frances’s group say that weird things are happening at Mountain Ash, and Frances begins to worry and to wonder. Everett doesn’t sound like himself anymore, and her mother never talks about coming home. Are they happier without Frances?From the Hardcover edition.
