From winter afternoons spent freezing at the Tot Spot to playgroups where she inadvertently tells the other mothers that Ann was an accident, Eve struggles to embrace motherhood and the yuppie accouterments of her new life. It doesn't help that her even-keeled husband spends long days working at the hospital, or that her own childhood in a religious cult was - by most people's estimates - extremely odd.

In Arhat, Iowa, there are cornfields and there's the Colony. Smart and precocious fifteen-year-old Eve is feeling stymied by both.

As Thomas Rayfiel's Colony Girl races to an unexpected climax, Eve finds herself trying to save the colony at the same time as she struggles to break free of its ominous control.

William, the Seventh Earl of Upton, is dying. His grandson, Seabold, has given him a journal in which the old man unwillingly at first, but soon with a strange compulsion begins to record the last months of his time on earth. But a daily account of life at Upton Hall, the decaying estate in which this late-Victorian lord has spent his entire life, is quickly overtaken by violent recollections of William's childhood, a past he has heretofore managed to repress, as well as even stranger intimations of the future, of ourselves, the readers, chancing upon this document some hundred years later, and of the predicaments, we find ourselves in today.
