I bought this book and read a few pages and it wasn't my kind of book. Here is the amazon review:

Playwright and short-story writer Youngblood's first novel, a moody, lyrical coming-of-age drama, wades through words usually left unspoken, naming the poetry of abandonment and poking at the taboo of sex stirring within the parent-child relationship. At age seven, Mariah Kin Santos suddenly loses her quasi-idyllic childhood in Manhattan, Kansas, when her subtly despairing, drug-addicted mother takes her by train to rural Georgia and leaves her with two singular maiden aunts, promising to return. Mariah waits, subsisting on remembered words and keening, physically and emotionally, for reunion. After some years, she learns of the existence of her artist father and journeys to Los Angeles in an impassioned attempt to locate family and wholeness. Instead, she meets an ambivalent fate. Mariah returns to Georgia with a smaller family circle, larger and more sorrowful experience, and the hope?perhaps?of peace. Occasionally intense, but too sensitive and honest to be outrageous, this intriguing debut will appeal to many readers.
