From the bestselling author of ' The Solace of Leaving Early', a funny, heartwrenching & unforgettable novel following the fortunes of a particulary feisty young female pool hustler. Cassie Claiborne, at ten, was surely too young to be the head of her disparate family. But who else was going to do it? Growing up in Indiana with her distant, heartbroken mother, Laura, her fragile, eccentric sister Belle, & her beloved grandfather Poppy, Cassie got sick of waiting for her father to come home from his everlasting gambling & drinking binges & took matters into her own hands. Taught by her father to play pool, Cassie was a natural & was soon hustling experienced pool players -- & winning. We follow Cassie from a complex little girl to a rebellious & impetuous young woman as she tries to create a world for her mother & sister. Overwhelmed but compelled by her family's love, Cassie feels herself drawn back to the past by the stories of her mother's youth, & she leaves her town for New Orleans, hoping that there she can find a truth to soothe her wounded soul & to allow herself the happiness she has been denied. Funny, heartbreaking, full of the eccentricity of small-town life & the overwrought drama of the close-knit family, ' Something Rising (Light & Swift)' is the story of a very unique young woman who knows that 'the worst thing that can happen to you is that you will find what you seek'. It tells of grief & love & growing up & leaving home in a way that is desperately sad but ultimately uplifting. ...
