Back home, she&#39;s known as Crow, and everybody suspects that her family is cursed.</p><p>With her future all but sealed, Crow decides to go down in a blaze of unforgettable glory by writing a memoir that will raise eyebrows and drop jaws. She&#39;ll dig up &#34;the dirt&#34; on her family tree, including the supposed curse, and uncover the truth about her mysterious father, who disappeared a month before she was born.</p><p>But first, Crow must contend with an eclectic assortment of characters, including her gossipy Aunt Peggy, hedonistic party-pal Char, homebound best friend Allie, and high-school flame Willy. She&#39;ll also have to figure out how to live with her mother and how to muddle through the unsettling visual disturbances that are becoming more and more vivid each day.</p><p>Witty, energetic, and crackling with sharp Cape Breton humour, <i>Crow</i> is a story of big twists, big personalities, big drama, and even bigger heart.</p>
