From the day that Morgan-Lee is born, her extraordinarily beautiful and withdrawn older brother, Ginx, is obsessed by her. As Aunt Lois recalls: "Ginx thought you belonged to him, Morgan-Lee. He would sit on our big couch right there in his sailor's suit and hold on to you for dear life...He didn't speak normal till he was five. Then - bang - one day he's just talking away in complete sentences. But he wouldn't say I. He said we, meaning you and him."Morgan-Lee is the only person who is able to understand and engage Ginx. Sharing a secret language, they escape together into a make-believe world. Unable to articulate his emotions, except through garbled, nonsensical words, Ginx becomes increasingly disturbed by Morgan-Lee's desire for friendships beyond the closed circle of their sibling love. The summer that Morgan-Lee turns fourteen she encounters the strange Sweety-Boy and her half-brother, Jacob, and is faced with having to choose between her love for the increasingly violent Ginx and a life without him. Martha Witt creates both the intense, private world of childhood and imagination and the inevitable and necessary pain of separation when Morgan-Lee finds love beyond her fractured and damaged family.
