"The Golds were not an exceptional family in suburban Philadelphia. Mr. Gold ran a dry-cleaning business and his wife, Cassie, was a nurse. They had two daughters, Isabel and Jeannie. Mrs. Gold was unpredictable and moody, prone to napping and taking long baths, but it was nothing that couldn't be soothed with a good cup of tea." "Until she killed herself.".
"Haunted by her mother's incomprehensible act, Isabel Gold tests out identity after identity, role after role, trying to inhabit the space left by Cassie and to crack the mystery of her death."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
On a spring day in 1968, eight-year-old Isabel Gold prepares tea for her mother, certain she will drink it and recover from her mysterious sadness. But the tea remains untouched. Not long after, her mother takes her own life. Struggling to understand the ghost her mother left behind, Isabel grows up trying on new identities. Her yearning for an emotional connection finds her falling in and out of love with various women, but it is not until Isabel learns how to reach deep within herself that she begins to listen to the truths of her own heart.
