(Widowed Gail Kiskadden, depressed and lost after the deat...)
Widowed Gail Kiskadden, depressed and lost after the death of her twenty year old son, John, is confronted with the fact he has been secretly married. She searches out the girl, brings her back to Minneapolis, and tries to establish some sort of confidence and affection. But Sherry Lee's presence brings about an abrasive haunting by whistling and through ventriloquist's dummies; a man is killed; Gail cannot turn the girl out when her pregnancy becomes dangerous and the baby, when born, becomes another weapon. His kidnapping brings the climax and safety for Gail. The restlessness and urgency of terror keep this chill and taut.

(Gail Kiskadden drove through the night to Columbus, Georg...)
Gail Kiskadden drove through the night to Columbus, Georgia, afraid to find the girl she sought, afraid of not finding her. Eight weeks had passed since Gail's only son Johnny had been killed in a car accident. In those eight weeks she had tried to suspend herself from reality. But the fragile protection of that withdrawal had been shattered when Gail learned that somewhere there was a girl with whom Johnny had been joined in a secret marriage. The girl's name was Sherry Lee and Gail Kiskadden was speeding to the site of her last address. It was in a desolate house that Gail found Sherry Lee--a small girl with a nimbus of champagne-colored hair which she brushed incessantly, a girl with a furtiveness about the eyes and a weak hunger about the mouth, a girl who was reluctant to discuss Johnny. In the weeks that followed, Sherry Lee taught Gail that she had only begun to know the meaning of grief and fear. A whistling shadow, a dilapidated doll, a remembered dread of an old lover--these tokens of Sherry Lee's sordid past followed them to Minneapolis and made a horror of the home that had always been Gail's haven. As the menacing shadow loomed larger, the very walls of Gail's house seemed to shrink and dissolve to the fragile transparency of a glass bubble. Far from being in a state of suspended animation, Gail discovered that she was at the very center of a vortex of violence and impending disaster.

(This is the story of a strangely idealistic marriage, hin...)
This is the story of a strangely idealistic marriage, hindered by success as well as failure. It is a sensitive and compelling love story told in exciting counterpoint to the colorful behind-the-scenes history of a large department store, complete with personal rivalries, sharp business practices and constant readjustments to meet the demands of changing customs and mode. And, above all, it is the sympathetic picture of a mediocre man tragically driven by futile ambition. Long established as a superb and suspenseful storyteller, label Seeley employs in this novel a powerfully different narrative technique. Alternately shifting the point of view from Carl to Christine, she dramatically and graphically illustrates how a husband and wife, although devoted and companionable over a long period of years may still remain strangers to one another.
