"An online obituary writer. A young mother with a dark secret. A woman waging a solo campaign
against rodents--neighbors separated only by the thin walls of a low-cost housing complex in
the once bustling industrial center of Vacca Vale Indiana. Welcome to the Rabbit Hutch.
Ethereally beautiful and formidably intelligent Blandine shares her apartment with three
teenage boys she neither likes nor understands all like her now aged out of the state foster
care system that has repeatedly failed them all searching for meaning in their lives. Set over
on sweltering week in July and culminating in a bizarre act of violence that finally changes
everything The Rabbit Hutch is a stunning snapshot of contemporary America: a love poem to
anyone who has ever felt trapped left behind or forgotten and yearned to connect to be
free."--Page [4] of cover.
