Description
Herein is the unexpurgated first-person narrative of nineteen-year-old Skyler Rampike, the only surviving child of an infamous American family destroyed a decade ago by the murder of Skyler's six-year-old ice-skating champion sister, Bliss, and the media scrutiny that followed. Part investigation into the unsolved murder, part elegy for the lost Bliss and for his own lost childhood, Skyler's narrative is an alternately harrowing and corrosively funny expos of upper-middle-class American pretensions--and an unexpectedly subtle and sympathetic exploration of those who dwell in Tabloid Hell.
