We were the Mulvaneys / Joyce Carol Oates.
A family of six disintegrates after a daughter is raped by a high-school student. It happens to the wealthy Mulvaneys in upstate New York. The disgrace--there is some question if it was rape--sends the father to drink and financial ruin, the girl leaves home, the others follow. By the author of What I Lived For.
A rich, complex family saga of the Mulvaneys, a seemingly idyllic family that is suddenly rocked by the date-rape of the 16-year-old daughter, Marianne, touching off an extraodinary 25-year-old journey into shameful secrets, despair, and the ultimate miracles that can bring family closer together.
