Description

Amelia has always wanted to live with her mother, and now finally she will be as she and Mom and Mom's girlfriend Janey run away to begin a new life with brand new identities far away from Daddy who has custody. Their new home The Sunshine House in San Francisco is wonderful...but starting over doesn't turn out to be quite as easy as Amelia anticipated, especially with the threat of what could happen if the past ever catches up with them always hanging over their heads. Reviewed as "courageous, thought-provoking" by Publisher's Weekly, this Deluxe Edition includes 2 chapters from Living In Secret's long-awaited sequel Esoterica, along with an Interview with the Author.
