When Home Meant Hunger
A six-year-old girl learns never to answer the ringing phone. Her mother, Barbara, sits chain-smoking, hands trembling, telling stories about their past life in Alaska's Chugach Mountains and her conversations with the Virgin Mary. After her parents' divorce, Quinn and her brother Jordan bounce between foster care and their mother's custody, where poverty becomes as constant as Barbara's cycling moods-manic productivity one week, crushing depression the next. Sometimes Barbara forgets to maintain their food stamps. The children search empty cupboards, and when Quinn cries from hunger pains, Barbara slaps her. Their Anchorage apartment becomes a prison of neglect where Quinn stays too small to carry milk gallons or open pickle jars, walks to school in freezing darkness, and sleeps with all lights blazing because no one reminds her it's bedtime or that teeth need brushing. Behind the apartment, she builds snow caves in the forest, finding sanctuary under a spruce tree whose boughs cradle her with the love absent at home. Eventually, Barbara announces she isn't just speaking to the Virgin Mary-she is the Virgin Mary reincarnated. At the public library, Quinn discovers a book on schizophrenia that names her mother's condition, bringing waves of terror and embarrassment as she recognizes Barbara's symptoms in clinical case studies. When Jordan runs away and enters custody, Quinn learns "there is no bottom to how alone a person can feel."
