As I lay in bed, replaying dinner, I started to see my mother's grin as something akin to a wolf's smile, and then I was seeing blood dripping from her mouth, which seemed ridiculous to me, so I wiped it from my mind and tried to picture what she had actually looked like.
"Smug" was the word I came up with.

I love you, Karl.
And I want to help you.
You can't hide in your home for the rest of your life.
You are not a shut-in; you just can't be.

Before I even reach the first page, this book lit me up with:
—the six larges words atop the summary on the inner flap. (I did not read the summary. I don't want to know too much of anything before I start reading a book, watching a movie, going to a restaurant, or meeting a person.)
