The Outside of August

For as long as Alice Green can remember, her mother has moved in and out of family life -- often disappearing without explanation, leaving their home progressively more hollow. Alice and her brother, August, react in different ways. Years later, when her brother becomes strangely remote, Alice finds him in an isolated beach town. There a deeply buried secret will have to unravel in order for Alice to come to terms with her fractured family.
